About Tariquet.

Bas-Armagnac (Eauze, Gascony) ·Est. 1683 (estate); 1912 (Grassa family ownership)

Domaine Tariquet has produced Armagnac at Château du Tariquet since 1683, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac near Eauze. The Grassa family acquired the estate in 1912 and has run it across four generations since. The estate's distinguishing focus is the Folle Blanche grape — historically the dominant Armagnac variety until phylloxera, but largely replaced by hardier Ugni Blanc — which the Grassas reintroduced in the 1980s. Tariquet now holds the largest Folle Blanche planting in Armagnac at 25 hectares.

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 Tariquet

Bas-Armagnac (Eauze)

Château du Tariquet was built in 1683 in the Bas-Armagnac region of south-western France, and Armagnac has been distilled on the estate continuously since. The Grassa family — Pierre Grassa was born in France to Spanish parents from the Sierra de Guara — acquired the property in 1912 through marriage with the Artaud family, who had owned it previously. The estate sits in the Bas-Armagnac sub-appellation, recognised as the source of the most cellar-worthy Armagnac eaux-de-vie, with vineyards bordering the town of Eauze.

The Grassa family's distinguishing decision was to reintroduce the Folle Blanche grape at scale in the 1980s. Folle Blanche was historically the dominant Armagnac variety until phylloxera devastated it in the late nineteenth century; producers replanted predominantly with Ugni Blanc, which is hardier but less aromatic. Tariquet's 25-hectare Folle Blanche planting is now the largest in Armagnac. The house's headline range — Pure Folle Blanche at multiple ages (8, 12, 15 years and beyond) — works the variety in single-grape expression, distinct from the conventional Armagnac multi-grape blend.
