Castarède’s armagnacs are aged in the traditional way, in oak barrels made by local artisans. First they are stored in new oak barrels, just until the optimal dissolution of the components in the wood has taken place. Then the eau de vie is transferred into older oak barrels for slower ageing. The alchemy between the oak barrel, the cellar master’s work and the cellar, gives each armagnac its individual identity.

- Viticulture:
- The climate is soft and humid with sunny autumns and the soil is made of siliceous clay which is poor in lime, giving Bas Armagnacs a lightness and fragrance with subtle tastes
