Owned by the Garreau family since 1919, Château Garreau lies in the heart of the Bas Armagnac region and produces eaux-de-vie from Baco, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grape varieties. The wines from each are distilled separately, blended and then matured in oak casks in Château’s underground cellars.
