We walked all around this property, up on top of huge wine tanks (I’m scared of heights but I do it for you, dear reader), to a super modern bottling line, and then to the completely incongruously ridiculously small room in the middle of it all, where the single wood-fired armagnac still is slowly churning…

A visit to the stylish armagnac house of Gelas, where they’re making single-varietal bottlings and even barrel-finished armagnac.

Armagnac Delord is located at the edge of the town of Lannepax in the Bas Armagnac region. It is one of just three armagnac houses that uses pot stills along with the typical armagnac continuous stills.

A visit to the very cool Armagnac Dartigalongue.

I had the chance to visit the Chateau Castarede, a 17th Century estate/castle in the Bas Armagnac region where they produce armagnac. Florence Castarède was our host for the day.

A visit to the unique and artsy Chateau De Laubade armagnac house.

De Montal armagnac is made at this coop I visited in Gascony, France.

My visit to Domaine de Pellehaut armagnac was super quick, and so also is this post.
