Domaine Uby

The history of Domaine Uby

Domaine Uby is currently run by François Morel. This winemaker, who comes from a generation of Swiss winemakers who arrived in France in 1920, has been running the family estate for 10 years.

IGP Côtes de Gascogne wines are available in red, white and rosé. To optimize their ageing, a new winery was built in 2012. Domaine Uby is run using responsible, environmentally-friendly farming methods. The entire vineyard has been certified Viticulture Raisonnée Contrôlée for 10 years. Harvesting takes place at night, when the grapes are ripe, to preserve their quality.

The Uby tortoise

The Domaine d'Uby pond is home to an endangered turtle of a protected species: the European Cistude tortoise. The estate has signed an agri-environmental contract to preserve a natural area around the pond, so that the turtle can live and reproduce there.
