Côtes de Gascogne

Côtes de Gascogne is a wine-growing district in Gascony producing principally white wine.

The designation Côtes de Gascogne obliges the producers to respect the stricter rules and production standards, which were adopted with the decree of 25 January 1982.

The region is mainly in the Gers where two thirds of the vineyards, nearly 12,000 hectares are used for the production of the Côtes de Gascogne wines.

In Gers the cantons: Auch, Cazaubon, Condom, Fleurance, Jegun, Lectoure, Montesquiou, Montréal, Nogaro, Riscle, Plaisance, Aignan, Valence-sur-Baïse, Vic-Fezensac.
