The Maison Gélas, created in 1865 by Baptiste Gélas, a barrel maker’s son, has been a family business for 160 years, and is Gascon heart and soul. It will take you through the different crafts and trades that have given birth not only to outstanding, vintage Bas Armagnacs, aged in casks in its chais or special storehouses, but also to a range of eaux-de-vie resulting from both know-how and a love of perfection. The Maison Gélas offers you the key to its nook of paradise, and will initiate you in the magic of ageing. From the outset we have always been ageing Armagnacs variety by variety. This has helped us to offer single varietal eaux-de-vie presented at their natural degree of ageing, for the three major varieties used for Armagnac, with at least 18 years in the cask : - Bas Armagnac 18 years 100% Folle Blanche 44.8% - Bas Armagnac 18 years 100% Baco 47.4% - Bas Armagnac 18 years 100% Ugni Blanc 48.8% The Masion Gelas reains the top specialist for odest vintages Bas Armagnacs
