(Domaine Pellehaut Family Réserve, Côtes de Gascogne) The Beraut family, like many Armagnac producers encountering slow sales of fine brandies, has ventured into winemaking with credible results. This blend of Petit and Gros Manseng and “une touche de Sauvignon” comes from the region’s Ténarèze district.
