Cultivated between the regions of the Adour river and the Médoc, the white asparagus selected by Maison Ponthier is an exceptional product. An oceanic climate and sandy soil are favourable to its cultivation. This permeable and deep soil is regularly irrigated by the rain, and is perfectly suited to growing asparagus - it allows it to grow upright inside a small mound that protects it from the sun’s rays. This darkness preserves its mother-of-pearl colouring, delicate taste and tender flesh. It is harvested manually with the help of a gouge.
