Jean-Pierre Proharam founded his estate in 2004. His father already owned a few vines, whose harvest was sold to the local cooperative. Located on the hillsides of Lasseube, the vineyards benefit from fine exposures, with the majestic Pic du Midi d’Ossau as a backdrop. Jean-Pierre is deeply committed to environmental respect and meticulous vineyard care; everything is farmed organically and biodynamically, with a strong emphasis on observation. Very attached to Occitan culture, he draws inspiration from it when naming his cuvées: “Sonque Ta Tu” (“Just for you”, dedicated to his daughter) and “Esberit” (“Fiery”, for his son).

As a small anecdote, Jean has been the name given to the eldest son for four generations, in homage to the Pic du Midi d’Ossau, affectionately nicknamed locally “Jean-Pierre”.
