Terroir
Natural factors
- Zone = the entire Landes département, bordered to the west by the Atlantic for more than 100 km (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Bas-Armagnac: silty-sandy soils on the geological formation known as the Sables Fauves, with gentle, softly undulating relief
- Chalosse: leached soils, tending toward acidity, enriched with coarse elements (gravels or pebbles), with a landscape of hillsides and asymmetrical valleys
- Oceanic climate, mild and humid year-round; sunny autumns thanks to a southerly foehn-type wind
