Terroir
Natural factors
- Three distinct substrates running west to east: tawny sands (boulbènes), clayey molasse (terreforts), and limestone beds (peyrusquets)
- Zone situated on the Lannemezan alluvial fan: asymmetric valleys, with a short, steep right-bank slope and a long, gently inclined left-bank slope (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Zone spans three départements: Gers (the principal one), Landes, and Lot-et-Garonne
- Condomois: the warmest and driest sector, with clay-limestone soils over molasse, centred on Condom on both banks of the Baïse
