About

Baron de Lustrac, a revered éleveur-négociant specialising in single-vintage Armagnacs, has built its reputation on strong partnerships with 20 selected growers across the Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze regions. The estate’s philosophy is grounded in five key values: terroir, character, authenticity, handcrafted quality, and discovery. These principles guide every step of production. After a long, slow ageing process at their native properties, the final blending and bottling take place at their cellars in the village of Nogaro. Each vintage embodies its own unique personality, reflecting the distinct terroir and craftsmanship that define the region's character.
