LA CAILLABERE

In 1992, in the commune of Taron, Jean-Marc Larroudé embarked on his winemaking journey by taking over the family vineyards of Domaine de la Caillabère. From the outset, he planted new vines and expanded the estate to 4 hectares, spread across three plots, cultivating traditionally Béarnais grape varieties such as Petit and Gros Manseng, as well as Tannat (along with some Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon). Always guided by a farmer’s common sense, Jean-Michel, soon to be joined by his son-in-law, naturally turned to organic farming to achieve an ever more refined expression of the terroir.
