Domaine de Mirail, Lectoure
The quality of the Mirail land has been recognised since the end of the 15th century when a vineyard was already planted there at the time. 5 centuries later, the property was reborn thanks to the efforts of Charles Hochman and his son Charles-Antoine who decided to re-establish the 30 hectares of abandoned vines.
