Description: A very gourmet Armagnac, round and typical of Bas Armagnac, relatively easy for a 20-year-old Armagnac, fluid and elegant.

Vincent Laterrade, with his experience as a former sommelier and a passionate lover of his Gers region, has been strongly 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 accurate and complex, with precise tasting notes. 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 simple but features very elegant bottles!

Recently, he has also been aging a white cuvée, Etoile Filante, in barrels, with the same care as his Armagnacs. For this occasion, he settled in a superb barn, typically Gersois, with earthen floor and wattle and daub walls, which he is renovating with a love for old traditions.
