Founded in 1832, Castar\u00e8de is the oldest House of Armagnac, with a collection of vintages dating back to 1888. This unique know-how, built up by six successive generations, has earned them a worldwide reputation for excellence. Official Armagnac of the G8 2003 in Evian, Armagnac of the last most expensive dinner of the 20th century at the Gavroche in London… Located in the heart of Bas Armagnac, Maison Castar\u00e8de owns a 16-hectare vineyard. This estate, which surrounds a 16th-century ch\u00e2teau, enables them to retain control of their production, from distillation through to ageing of their Armagnacs in local oak barrels. Castar\u00e8de Armagnacs are distinguished by longer ageing periods than those required by regulations. The Castar\u00e8de family owns one of the world’s largest collections of vintages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Since 1832, traditions have not been lost. In winter, the stills bring that comforting flame that warms the heart. And under the beams blackened by centuries of evaporation, the long process of maturation takes place.<\/p>\n
Successive cellar masters have stayed on in succession. They bear witness to the continuity of this traditional know-how in the selection of the best Bas Armagnac products, and in the methods of distillation, maturation and ageing.
\nCastarede allows its Armagnacs to age longer than required by law, producing Armagnacs of rare finesse.<\/p>\n
For over 180 years, the Castar\u00e8de family has lovingly nurtured a unique know-how in the service of Armagnac, first in their cellars at Pont de Bordes on the banks of the Ba\u00efse river, then in their Bas-Armagnac estate, Ch\u00e2teau de Maniban.<\/p>\n
Their commitment and passion for armagnac have remained intact, and the water of immortality has preserved the enthusiasm of their eternal youth.<\/p>\n
