Notes from the producer: 

"It is on the borders of the South-West, in the department of Gers that our story begins.
In the former convent of Maumusson-Laguian, clinging since the 18th century to the limestone rock of an old quarry, stands the Domaine Capmartin. On both sides of the imposing building, discover rich soils that reveal great wines .

The history of Domaine Capmartin began in 1985, when Guy Capmartin decided to leave the family estate to create his own estate . In 1987, the first cuvée of Domaine Capmartin was born: "Tradition". Step by step, the estate is expanding and its notoriety is growing, making today the Couvent de Maumusson an unmissable meeting place for lovers of authentic Madiran and Pacherenc.

In the early 2000s, anxious to increase the quality of his wines, Guy Capmartin became interested in healthier agriculture, in the desire for a better balance with his environment. He finds new inspiration with farming methods, stemming from Organic Agriculture and Biodynamics .After several years of work in personal conviction, he decided in 2010 to have his work recognized and asked for the “AB” label in order to certify his productions and enhance his wines and cereal crops.
