Domaine de Lauroux is a 100-acre viticultural estate situated in the department of the Gers in South West France.
The Domaine is owned by Nicolas and Karen Kitchener, a British couple who left their respective careers in the UK to pursue their dream of creating quality, affordable wines in
the Cotes de Gascogne Appellation d'Origine.
We have an ever growing number of shops, bars and restaurants stocking Lauroux wines and Armagnac. If you would like to buy any of our products, please mail us at sales@lauroux.com letting us know where in the world you are located and what you'd like to order and we'll do the rest.

Gascony produces over 80 million bottles of Vin de Pays wine each year - making it the number one French producer of Vin de Pays white wines.
Wines produced here are a particular favourite in northern European countries such as Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Marketing efforts have been made in recent years to increase visibility of the excellent quality of Cotes de Gascogne wines with French consumers.

27.01.08 - Our Moelleux has been selected for the prestigious Tom Stevenson Wine Guide 2008
17.10.07 The 2007 harvest is finished! Like many other areas of France, Gascony was badly affected by high winds and heavy rain earlier in the year, this led to reduced yields - in our case, by about 50% but the quality of the pressed juice is excellent and the alcohol levels are exactly what we would hope for. The hard work in the chai is just beginning and we're looking forward to some fantastic wines from the 2007 vintage.

28.06.07 - Richard James, the man behind "Winewriting.com" has been added to our christmas card list! We've been regular visitors to Richard's site for some time now - his reviews, tasting notes and down-to-earth style really helps with our WSET studies. A few weeks ago we took a deep breath and sent a bottle of our 1986 Armagnac to Richard for his comments. We waited..... and he sent us his conclusion: "....its delicious".
