How it is made
Founded in 1832, Maison Castarède is the oldest Armagnac négociant house. Since 1832, its traditions have endured without interruption. Each winter, the stills bring a warming flame that stirs the heart. And beneath beams darkened 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 a rare and exceptional finesse.
For more than 180 years, first in the cellars at Pont de Bordes on the banks of the Baïse, then at the Bas-Armagnac estate of château de Maniban, the Castarède family has lovingly preserved a unique expertise in the service of Armagnac.
Their commitment and passion for Armagnac have never wavered, and the water of immortality has kept the enthusiasm of their eternal youth very much alive.
