The house’s signature cuvée. Highly complex aromas: dried fruits (walnuts, almonds), noble rancio, spices, leather, and melted woody notes. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between power and elegance, with a long, lingering finish. This is the hallmark of Castarède’s expertise.

Founded in 1832, Maison Castarède is the oldest Armagnac trading house still in operation, with nearly two centuries of history. Located in the heart of Gascony, it embodies the excellence and tradition of this iconic eau-de-vie from Southwest France.

Heritage & Expertise: Six generations have succeeded one another at the helm of the house, preserving the artisanal know-how passed down since 1832. A commitment to authenticity and the Armagnac terroir remains the key to its identity.

Vineyard & Terroirs: Castarède selects eaux-de-vie from the appellation’s three major terroirs: Bas-Armagnac, Ténarèze, and Haut-Armagnac. These varied soils give rise to diverse aromatic profiles, from the most refined and fruity to the most robust and complex.

Production: Traditional distillation in an Armagnac still, followed by a long aging process in Gascon oak barrels. Each eau-de-vie slowly evolves in the barrel, gaining in roundness, complexity, and aromatic nobility.

Armagnac Style:

Young: Expressive, fruity, with notes of plum, pear, and fresh grapes.

Vintage and Very Old: Rich and deep, with aromas of dried fruit, sweet spices, cocoa, rancio, and elegant oak. Their length and finesse reflect decades of patience.

Today, Maison Castarède is recognized worldwide as one of the great names in Armagnac, combining authenticity, elegance, and prestige. Its vintage Armagnacs, some of which are centuries old, are among the most sought-after by enthusiasts and collectors.
