- The Dabadie family has had vineyards in Madiran since 1904, with Domaine Laougué established in the 1980s.
- Current owner and winemaker Sylvain Dabadie focuses on creating expressive, single-vineyard wines that are approachable on release.
- Organic and biodynamic principles are followed, and the estate benefits from many different soils and microclimates.
- Winemaking is largely non-interventionist, and the wines see long aging in barrel and concrete tanks.
- These wines are a modern interpretation of Madiran and an observation of this mountainous Southwest France region.
