Armin and Remy Grassa are brothers in life and in their
work. Sons of Yves Grassa, the famous Gascon wine
grower, they have naturally grasped and grown up with modern wine growing methods. Together they bought the
Domaine La Hitaire in 1999 where they have transformed
and restructured this 110 hectares wine estate.
Different grape varieties that are not so common in the
region (Sémillon, Chardonnay, Chenin ...) have found
their place alongside the precious Petits Manseng that grow
opposite the terrace at the entrance of the Castle.
The wines of character produced by Armin and Remy
Grassa are created to provide a conviviality which is so close
to their hearts.
Beside a magnificent lake surrounding this superb XVIIIth
century Château, the Domaine La Hitaire vineyards spread
out over the hills of Eauze, the capital of the Armagnac
region.
Mainly planted with Ugni Blanc, Colombard,
Sémillon, Chenin, Sauvignon, Chardonnay,
Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng, our vineyards benefit
from a very favourable sub soil (tawny coloured sands), for
those who appreciate elegant, fresh and very aromatic white
wines.
Our Domaine is situated in the "Côtes de
Gascogne".
The meticulous upkeep of each vine, the careful
monitoring of grape maturation and the great care taken
during harvesting coupled with the sun and the oceanic
climate of the South-West contribute to producing wines
of the finest quality.
