Domaine Plaisance Penavayre

You will not want to miss this domain if you're interested in the Fronton appellation. When Marc Penavayre took over from his father in 1991, he was determined to take care of his vineyards in a more natural way, to restore this appellation in the South-West to its former glory and to make the best possible use of the local Négrette grape variety. Three gambles that paid off!

Domaine Plaisance Penavayre dates back to 1971 when Louis Penavayre decided to create his own cuvées. This family domain has now been taken over by Thibault Penavayre and it stretches across 26 hectares in the South-West of the country, not far from the small village of Vacquiers. The vineyard has been handed down from generation to generation, always working to protect the soil and biodiversity.
In the cellar as in the vineyard, the principles of organic and biodynamic farming are followed, resulting in the domain becoming certified organic in 2011. The vines are manually worked as much as possible, and vinification is carried out using minimum inputs. The plots are spread over two different areas, one to the north of Vacquiers and the other to the south. The characteristics of each type of soil have been carefully studied. Each plot is worked in a specific way to allow the terroir and the vines to express all their aromas freely, guaranteeing the production of pure, healthy cuvées.
Not only has the domain been a real driving force in restoring this South-Western appellation to its former glory, but it also continues to be a true representative of it today. The French wine magazine La Revue du Vin de France even goes so far as to say that the estate's wines "define what is a Fronton”.
