This house, founded under Louis-Philippe, is proud to be the oldest in Armagnac. For 180 years, the Dartigalongue family has watched over the maturation of their eaux-de-vie in a magnificent cellar in the heart of Nogaro. Their armagnacs are the result of the blending of ugni blanc, baco and folle-blanche. They are distilled in a low-temperature still and aged for many years in oak barrels from the region. The house presents a very complete collection of eaux-de-vie (VSOP, hors d'âge, vintage...).

Located at the entrance to Rue Dessoles, this boutique is ideal for oenophiles in search of regional discoveries. The cellar offers a fine selection of Côtes-de-Gascogne and other South-Western appellations. Quality is also evident in the many artisanal preserves made from duck and goose. Owner Josiane Catherine has assembled a magnificent collection of Armagnacs, classified and displayed by year, with the oldest dating back to the 1940s. This is without doubt the richest collection of eaux-de-vie in the area.

Maison Gélas is one of the most important references in Bas-Armagnac. A guided tour takes you through the cellar founded in 1865 by Baptiste Gélas. You will discover the stills room where the brandies are distilled, as well as the different professions linked to the production of armagnac: distiller, cellar master, cooper... The adjoining cellar-boutique contains more than 800 references of armagnacs, flocs de Gascogne, plum brandies or liqueurs. The house has also developed recipes for vinegar or mustard with Armagnac.

Do you know Armagnac? Have you ever drunk grape juice? Then, without perhaps knowing it, you know the floc de Gascogne. This aperitif drink is a subtle blend of fresh grape juice (2/3) and armagnac (1/3). Like wine, it is available in white, rosé and red versions. Classified as an AOC, it can be drunk chilled, but also with foie gras, cheese or dessert. It is produced in the Armagnac region, in three departments.

A passionate wine and other spirits, Sébastien Nearby decided in 2013 to devote himself to his passion. Its objective: Discover and share the little pearls he get from his explorations and share his knowledge to offer the best advice according to your tastes, your desires and your budget. In the store you will find about 500 wines and other spirits tested and approved by the master. Among them is a wide range of Côtes, but also regional and foreign wines, with a marked preference for small independent producers, wines that are atypical and representative of their land. There are also whiskies from Scotland, Ireland, Japan and the South west, with Black Mountain, refined on the foothills of the Black Mountain. The store also has armagnacs and whiskies in fountain, a rare enough specificity to be mentioned. Opera Vinalis is also a wide range of vintage white and white champagnes, scrupulously selected rums and many other pleasures for the palate.
