Terroir
Natural factors
- The zone extends across three departments: primarily the Gers, along with parts of the Landes and the Lot-et-Garonne.
- The western sector is dominated by sables fauves, a marine formation overlaid with loessic silts, giving rise to acidic silty to silty-sandy soils known locally as boulbènes.
- Towards the east, continental argillaceous molasse gives rise to either terreforts (deep clay soils) or peyrusquets (shallow, stony, calcareous soils).
- The relief consists of gently rolling hills to the west and more deeply incised valleys underlain by limestone beds to the east, within an overall highly undulating landscape of asymmetrical slopes. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
