An exceptional estate in Bas-Armagnac
with 45 hectares of vines, 90mn from Bordeaux
Situated on a hillside in Bas-Armagnac, on the border between the Gers and Landes regions, Domaine d’Espérance was bought by Jean-Louis and Claire de Montesquiou in 1990. Since when they have restored the estate, already renowned for its Grand Cru Armagnac, and developed a distinguished range of wines.
To cater for the growing interest in « wine tourism », a gîte has been created on the property and a cooking school. Wine lovers can enjoy a day visit or stay for a longer period in the gîte and discover how its armagnac and its wines are created.
Domaine d’Espérance will be closed for Xmas
from december 23th at noon until january 4th 2021 morning
