CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1964

Ageing 56 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask Oak

Castarède recalls its 1964 as a light-structured, highly enjoyable Armagnac, as detailed in the house tasting note below. The eau-de-vie, drawn solely from the 1964 harvest, spent fifty-six years in oak casks before being bottled in 2020. In 2026, sixty-two years have passed since the harvest. Reduced to 40% vol., it is presented in a 70 cl bottle with a gift box. A fine choice for someone celebrating their 62nd birthday in 1964, or for anyone who prefers an Armagnac of finesse rather than power.

The year 1964

Vintage grand

1964 will be remembered as the year the Beatles made their triumphant arrival in the United States and the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. In Gascony, the vines yielded a vintage of notable elegance and finesse. After more than six decades of ageing in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie offer a refined profile, rich in nuances of dried fruit and vanilla.

How it is made

Since 1832, its traditions have remained intact. Each winter, the stills bring a warming flame that kindles the spirit, and beneath rafters blackened by centuries of evaporation, the long work of maturation quietly unfolds.

Our house allows its Armagnacs to age well beyond the minimum required by law, in pursuit of exceptional finesse. For over 180 years, first in the cellars at Pont de Bordes on the banks of the Baïse, then at the Bas-Armagnac estate of Château Maniban, the Castarède family has lovingly upheld a singular expertise in the service of Armagnac. Their commitment and passion have never wavered, and the water of immortality has kept alive the enthusiasm of their eternal youth.
