Vincent Laterrade, with his experience as a former sommelier and a great lover of his Gers region, has been passionately dedicated to selecting fine Armagnacs for independent aging and bottling for about ten years. Thus, all year long, he travels through the region's cellars in search of treasures, old batches never bottled, sometimes never discovered, sleeping for decades in cellars from another era. His selection of Armagnacs is incredibly precise and complex, with acute tasting. Each year, superb batches are released, just like the greatest Scottish bottlers. The batches are never reduced, and you won't pay for the packaging, which is very sober but with very elegant bottles!

Recently, he also aged a white wine cuvée, Etoile Filante, in barrels, with the same care as his Armagnacs. For this occasion, he settled in a superb barn, typically Gersois, made of beaten earth and wattle and daub, which he is renovating with a love for the old.
