The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Dans la zone viticole du Madiranais, ces deux chais ont été établis par Charles Laborie, commandant du régiment des hussards d'Angoulême qui hérite de la propriété familiale en 1835. Il crée le grand domaine vinicole actuel et fait édifier deux chais : le " grand " et le " petit chai " témoins de la prospérité économique des vins de Madiran au XIX e siècle . Ce dernier conserve des éléments de pressoir . L'architecture du grand chai de près de 50 m de long est particulièrement soignée par la qualité de ses lucarnes fenêtres (curvilignes) en façade sud ; à l'intérieur une remarquable charpente de 16 fermes a été restaurée en 1993 ou 1994, et la couverture en ardoise a été remplacée par une tôle patinée de couleur ardoise.

In the wine-growing area of Madiranais, these two cellars were established by Charles Laborie, commanding officer of the Angoulême hussars regiment who inherited the family property in 1835. He created the large current wine estate and had two cellars built: the "great" and the "small cellar" witnesses to the economic prosperity of Madiran wines in the 19th century. The latter preserves elements of a press. The architecture of the great cellar of nearly 50 m long is particularly carefully done through the quality of its dormer windows (curvilinear) on the south façade; inside a remarkable roof structure of 16 trusses was restored in 1993 or 1994, and the slate roof was replaced by patinated sheet metal of slate colour.
