For those looking for authentic Gascony and its legendary hospitality, Domaine de Lagajan is the destination of choice. We will open the chapter of an unforgettable story where the kindness of the welcome and the truth of the terroir permeate the generous expression of its production of Armagnac, Floc and Côtes de Gascogne wines.
The soul and history of Gascony
At Domaine de Lagajan, a sign affixed to an exterior wall immediately sets the tone: distillers, the same expertise since 1310. From that moment on, the soul and history of Gascony will never leave you. They speak to you and resonate with each member of the Georgacaracos family: Gisèle the mother, Constantin the father, Katia the daughter, and Dimitri the son. All are united by the same smile, a smile that reflects the complete hospitality and kindness extended to every visitor. For Domaine de Lagajan , a place steeped in history, is as much a place to visit as it is to appreciate through the tasting of its vintage Armagnacs , its red or white Floc de Gascogne , and its Côtes de Gascogne wines.
The still in the heart of the house
The family history is marked by the determination of the women and the courage of the men who, over ten generations, have ensured the continuity and longevity of Domaine de Lagajan . The tasting room, whose picturesque decor foreshadows the dense and fascinating collection of the museum that adjoins it, stands as a faithful testament to the family's wealth. And while the beating heart of the estate lies in the cellar where superb Armagnacs mature in oak barrels , it beats even more strongly around the unique and very old still, gleaming with all its copper in the secrecy of a distillation room. With a bit of luck, Constantin will reveal all its secrets and rekindle the flame of its hearth with the sheer magic of his storytelling talents.
The generous expression of the terroir
At Domaine de Lagajan , everything is perfect: the vineyards surrounding the property, the centuries-old oak tree so conducive to tasting time, and above all, each member of the family dedicated to a warm welcome, whose products are the surest ambassadors. Armagnacs, of course, are pure vintage, excluding any blending, and it is said that the oldest preserved sample dates back to 1858. Distilled in the purest tradition, they draw their full aromatic expression from Baco, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche grapes. For the Côtes de Gascogne wines , the typical bouquets of the whites produced in the appellation are combined at Domaine de Lagajan with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Colombard, Petit Manseng, and Gros Manseng. The red and rosé wines, for their part, draw their fruity notes from the virtues of Merlot and Côt. The final bouquet of flowers is offered by the red or white Flocs , in a visual and gustatory signature that perfectly expresses an authentic Gascony and an unforgettable family.
