THE DOMAINE
Domaine de Sédouprat is a small family owned, vineyard set amongst the lush, rolling countryside of Gascony, 4km south of the historic market town of Eauze. It dates back to 1802 when the house was built amongst an existing agricultural culture (the ‘prat’ at the end of Sédouprat is an old French word for prairie). 

In the mid 20th century vines were planted and the focus became grapes for Armagnac and wine sold "en vrac" - mostly supplying the local cooperative in Eauze. 

Nowadays it produces high quality red, white and rosé wines, all made from grapes grown from just 6ha of the estate.

THE VINES & WINERY
The vines are grown on a clay sand mixture which provide good moisture retention during the long hot summers. They are trellised in rows running north to south, thus shading the fruit from the sun during the hottest time of day and taking advantage of the cooler morning sunrise. Most of the growing season is spent manually keeping canopy density down to encourage airflow thus preventing disease and encouraging healthy fruit. Also, when required excess fruit is removed in order to increase ripeness and flavour concentration in the grapes. The varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. This year 1,5 ha. of Pinot Noir was planted to add another wine to the range.

As you will notice on our website, the labels of our Wines are inspired by the real animals at or around Domaine De Sédouprat!
