Domaine Haut Marin

Haut Marin: A Century of Winemaking Excellence

Domaine Haut Marin represents over a century of dedication from the Prataviera-Jegerlehner family in the heart of Gascony. This family-owned winery has thrived through three generations, with Jean and Dennis Jegerlehner establishing the first cellar in 1960 and expanding their vineyards. Their daughter, Elisabeth, joined the family business, helping to grow the estate to an impressive 160 hectares. In 2003, they bottled their first wine, and today, they produce around 1,300,000 bottles annually, with nearly half exported worldwide. The family is committed to continuous improvement and innovation in winemaking.

The Unique Terroir of Bas Armagnac

Located in the Bas Armagnac appellation, the vineyards benefit from clayey and chalky soils that nurture sweet, fruity grapes. The estate practices sustainable viticulture, utilizing water treatment systems to protect the vines, avoiding ground pesticides, and applying only natural organic fertilizers. To preserve the grapes' delicate aromas, harvesting is typically done at night. The pressing process employs nitrogen, and the wine matures for three months in concrete and stainless steel tanks. Key grape varieties cultivated here include Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Merlot, Tannat, Syrah, Chardonnay, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc. The finest grapes are selected to craft their exceptional red, white, and rosé wines.
