Presentation
Laurent and Lucie Delpech organically farm 6 hectares of vines - Merlot, Fer Servadou and Tannat - on this family estate that has been passed down through five generations.
Laurent is David’s brother, owner of Puy Garric, located just next door. The property takes its name from the majestic 700-year-old oak tree overlooking it, known as “Bel Casse” in the Occitan language.
The vineyard is planted on gravel and boulbène soils and benefits from a climate ideally suited to producing red wines typical of the appellation.
Laurent and Lucie also grow cereals, as well as 4 hectares of plums used to produce the famous Agen prunes.
