Vincent Laterrade, with his experience as a former sommelier and a deep love for his Gers region, has developed a strong passion for selecting fine Armagnacs for independent aging and bottling over the past decade. Thus, all year round, he travels through the region's cellars in search of hidden gems, 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 emerge, much like the greatest Scottish bottlers. The batches are never reduced, and you won't pay for the packaging, which is very simple but features elegant bottles!!

Recently, he has also been aging a white cuvée, Etoile Filante, in barrels, with the same care as his Armagnacs. For this purpose, he has set up in a superb, typically Gersois barn with rammed earth and wattle and daub, which he is renovating with a love for the old.
