Viniculture has a long tradition in Gascogne. Till the seventies, most of the production was used for armagnacs, but as the sales in armagnacs dropped down dramatically, there had to be other ways. Domaine du Tariquet has become a very famous company over the last 30 years. It´s Chardonnay has a nose of flowers and fruits, it tastes of vanilla with hints of fresh butter, resulting from the partial maturing in barrels. Great summer wine, best served with fish, white meal and mild soft cheese.
