Château de Gayon
Château de Gayon produces wines from Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic Bilh, two appellations in the Pyrenees foothills of South West France. The winery's Dou Barrinquet Madiran blends Tannat with Fer Servadou, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon—a structure typical of the region's age-worthy reds. Tannat, the signature grape of Madiran, brings dark fruit and firm tannins; the addition of Bordeaux varieties adds complexity and balance. The Dou Hauret Madiran showcases Tannat in a more focused expression. For whites, Gouttes de Soleil Pacherenc du Vic Bilh draws on Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng, varieties prized for their aromatic intensity and natural sweetness in this corner of France.
