All of Castarède’s armagnacs come from the top cru, Bas Armagnac, which is located in the west of the region. The vines grow on poor and acidic clay loam soils with pockets of iron elements that colour it reddish brown, hence the name ‘tawny sands’. This area produces light, fruity, delicate and highly reputed eaux de vie, from which the armagnacs are distilled.
