Domaine de Pellehaut, Montréal-du-Gers (producer)
The same family for three centuries, on an 18th-century château estate on the edge of the Bas-Armagnac. There is a still standing in the tasting room, which makes the explanation of distillation a good deal less abstract. A long way, and only worth it if you are already heading west.
