Armagnac Castarède
- Founded in 1832
- Location Château de Maniban, Mauléon-d'Armagnac
- Appellation Bas-Armagnac
With know-how handed down from generation to generation, Armagnac Castarède is distinguished by its heritage and excellence. Florence Castarède, the sixth generation, led the house for more than thirty years until her passing in 2025; the family now carries on her work and this tradition of exceptional eaux-de-vie. Located at Château de Maniban, in Mauléon-d'Armagnac, this estate is the cradle of these fragrant, supple and silky eaux-de-vie, aged beyond the norm to ensure rare finesse.
Founded in 1832, Maison Castarède has a rich history. Encouraged by Baron Hausmann, the company was the first to enter the armagnac trade. A tradition that continues to this day, as several decades later, the family opened a boutique on Boulevard Hausmann in Paris, becoming a benchmark for all armagnac lovers.
The range offered by Armagnac Castarède range is unrivalled in its diversity. Thanks to the age of the company, it offers a range of vintages from 1893 to 2001, including some rare pieces. Each vintage is a celebration of tradition, like the hors d'âge, aged for 20 years in oak barrels. Unique collections, such as the Cigar Collection and the Bruts de Fût, accentuate the distinctive character of this extraordinary range.
