Wine & Armagnac lovers

La Bastide is the hospitality part of a widder estate, which produces Armagnac spirit since 1967, under the label of Château de Sandemagnan.

Max Dumolié is the oenologist ; he was born and grew up in Barbotan. His career binds intimately with La Bastide’s and the Guérard-Barthélémys’, whom he has been accompanying land and wine projects since the beginning

In 1983, a beautiful huge brass alambic (still) was accommodated in the Cellar.

Every november, a festive period called “la Flamme" takes place : white wine is distilled in the Alambic, night and day. The lucky ones who may pop in at this frosty time, will enjoy a very warm pre-dinner drink, by the still.
