About Castarede.

Bas-Armagnac (Lavardac + Mauléon-d'Armagnac) ·Est. 1832

Castarède is the oldest Maison d'Armagnac in France, founded in 1832 by Jules Nismes and his wife Elisabeth Delclou as Jules Nismes Delclou & Cie. The Castarède family — ennobled by Louis XVIII in 1818 — gave the company its current name and coat of arms. Baron Haussmann, then sub-prefect of Nérac, encouraged the family into the Armagnac trade. The cellars at Pont-de-Bordes (Lavardac) by the Baïse river were joined in 1979 by the Château de Maniban in Mauléon-d'Armagnac. Florence Castarède represents the sixth generation.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Castarede

Bas-Armagnac (Lavardac + Mauléon-d'Armagnac)

Castarède was founded in 1832 by Jules Nismes and his wife Elisabeth Delclou as Jules Nismes Delclou & Cie. The Castarède family was already a distinguished name — ennobled by Louis XVIII in 1818 — and provided the trading house with its current name and coat of arms. Baron Haussmann (later famous for his redesign of Paris but at the time sub-prefect of Nérac, 1832–1839) encouraged the family to enter the Armagnac trade. The first commercial cellars were established at Pont-de-Bordes in Lavardac, by the Baïse — a tributary of the Garonne — and remain in use today.

In 1979 the family acquired the historic Château de Maniban in Mauléon-d'Armagnac, deep in the Bas-Armagnac sub-appellation. The Castarède eaux-de-vie are matured slowly in wooden casks and demijohns across the two cellars — Pont-de-Bordes for shorter ageing and finishing, Maniban for the long-aged stocks. The current commercial range spans vintages from 1893 (the longest-aged Castarède available) to recent years, plus age-tier blends. Florence Castarède, the sixth generation, leads the house today.
