Over the past decade, François Morel has worked to expand his family’s estate, Domaine d’Uby, through his straightforward approach and dynamism. He is a descendant of Swiss wine growers who arrived in France in 1920, and hails from generations of winemakers from the Armagnac region.
François expresses his passion through his wines: pleasing wines of high quality and convivial wines for sharing, which perfectly match the traditions of wines in the region of Gascony.
The entire Uby vineyard is sustainable and has been certified Viticulture Raisonnée Contrôlée since 2009. Cereal crops on the estate are grown organically, in addition to the 12 hectares of vines.
New investments are under consideration that would allow François to closely monitor and support the development of the vines and their needs during their life cycle, with the aim of encouraging their natural balance.
Uby subscribes, through an agri-environmental charter, to the preservation of a natural area around its lake, where the last European pond terrapins (tortues Cistude d’Europe) live and breed. This is a protected species in danger of extinction.
