Wine estates Landes

In the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region, this earth-floored winery has been the Domaine's cellar since its origins in the ^19th century. During your visit, you'll learn all about the vineyard and the distillation process. The large room housing the various bottles of armagnac and armagnac-based aperitifs adjoins the cellar, where barrels containing old vintages are stored. Domaine de Lassaubatju Bas-Armagnac is both powerful and light, fragrant and fruity. To be enjoyed in moderation, of course. Three guest rooms are available.

Jean-Luc and Guy Deyres are at the head of this family estate founded in the 1950s and have been producing vintage armagnac since 1973 and white brandy from the folle blanche grape. For the armagnacs, there are 4 different grape varieties on 5 hectares of vines: ugni blanc, folle blanche, colombard and baco. The estate distills with a Sier still dating from 1901, in continuous with single heating. The vintage armagnacs are bottled as and when they are sold. Visits are possible to the estate, the wine-making cellar and the ageing cellar.

The Bas-Armagnac region of Landes is highly renowned for the quality of its wine production. Domaine d'Espérance is no exception, and excellence is the order of the day at this estate. With great kindness, Jean-Louis and Claire de Montesquiou will take you on a tour of the wine and armagnac cellars, before inviting you to taste one of their vins de pays: white "Cuvée d'Or", red "Cuvée Rouge", rosé "Cuvée Rosée", or their aperitif, white and rosé floc de Gascogne... Among the vines, the owners have set up a Bacchus gîte.

Voted best wine brandy producer in the world in 2022, Armagnac has always been at the heart of this superb estate, handed down from generation to generation. Gilles de Boisséson, the current owner, represents the ^10th generation. The estate covers 400 hectares, with 22 hectares of vines and 200 hectares of woodland. The château is currently the oldest family estate in the Armagnac appellation. The eau-de-vie produced is immediately transferred to oak barrels, which are then aged in a stone and earthenware cellar dating from 1876.

A showcase for the Landes region, Domaine d'Ognoas and its 565 hectares of Bas-Armagnac have been producing AOC armagnac since 1905 and floc since 1990. Guided tours will introduce you to the precious beverage, available in vintages of varying ages. Discover, for example, Moon Night brandy in its "Little Pasha" bottle, or a "Mystery Tasting" game box. Surprising products such as chocolates introduce you to armagnac. The estate boasts the oldest still in Gascony.

This address is one of our favorites. Committed to Armagnac traditions for 8 generations, the Laudet-Bastié family distills and ages the precious Château Laballe Bas-Armagnac eau-de-vie every year. To discover: a dry white, made from a blend of colombard (60%) sauvignon (25%) and gros manseng (15%), a mineral wine with aromas of exotic fruits that goes perfectly with white meat or fish. Tasting and sales at the château, but also at the Capbreton boutique (4, rue des Resiniers).

Before becoming the property of Baron Raoul de Pichon-Longueville in 1864, the estate passed through the hands of various families. Stéphane de Luze is one of the descendants of the man who so marvellously knew how to enrich the traditional know-how of armagnac. The selection is for the Bas-Armagnac Blanche de Briat, 100% folle blanche, fully expressing the aromatic finesse of the grape variety as well as its perfect olfactory and gustatory balance. Very nice label.
