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.
