THE CAVE D'IROULÉGUY
Nestled in the heart of the Northern Basque Country, on the French side, the Cave d'Irouléguy cooperative winery reflects the passion and dedication of the region's winemakers. Founded in 1952 by nine fervent winemakers, the winery has become an emblem of unity and tradition, still preserving its cooperative spirit today.
The vineyard clings to steep slopes on soil blending clay, limestone, and sandstone. The climate, between Atlantic influences and mountain protection, favors local grape varieties: Tannat, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon for the reds, and Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, and Petit Courbu for the whites.
In 2023, the cooperative was rewarded for its "Exceptional Offer" in the "Promotion of a Terroir" category at the Wine Tourism Trophies.
