1. VINS DES CÔTES DE GASCOGNE & BAS-ARMAGNACS

2. THE ORIGINS In Gascony, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees in the South West France, there is a place like no other. A place where wine takes root: the Domaine du Tariquet. A family estate since 1912, over the years the successive generations have come to realize the potential of this exceptional winemaking estate.

3. 1683: First Bas-Armagnacs produced at Domaine du Tariquet. 1912: Acquisition of the estate by Pierre Artaud, Hélène Grassa’s grandfather. 1946: Hélène and her husband, Pierre, settle down at the estate. 1972: Maïté and Yves take the reins of Domaine du Tariquet. 1982: Elaboration of the Grassa’s first white wine, the Classic - awarded in Montpellier by a Gold Medal with the jury’s congratulations (in 1983). 1987: Yves Grassa is designated as “White Wine Maker of the Year” by the International Wine Challenge in London. 2005: Armin and Rémy Grassa, Yves’ two sons, take over the family estate, which expanded with the acquisition and planting of new vines and new grape varieties. 2012: Three generations and 350 guests celebrate a century of family history. 2014: “Individual Distillery of the Year” (ISC, London). 2015: Family-owned estate of 1,125 hectares in production.

An oceanic climate: A strong temperature amplitude between summer days and nights favouring the flavours’ precursors development in the grapes’ skin. THE VINEYARDS  100 % “propriétaire – récoltant” (wine grower) with 1,125 hectares of vines, 100 of which are dedicated to the Armagnac.  Planted grape varieties: For the white wines: Ugni blanc, Colombard, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Chenin, Sémillon, Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng. For the Bas-Armagnacs: Ugni blanc, Folle Blanche, Baco and Plant de Graisse.
