DOMAINE DU CARDINAT

It is in this specific region of Bas-Armagnac in Sarragachies that Joseph, the grandfather, practiced breeding and polyculture. And it is there that he built the family home, sheltered by the estate.
In 1935, at the age of fifteen, Camille, the father, abandoned studies which promised to be brilliant, to take the reins of this heritage following the premature death of Joseph.
At nineteen in 1939, Camille planted the first vines and chose the best grape varieties that would produce high quality armagnac. He will work his land without interruption until 2010, living close to nature and at the hour of the sun.
During these years, he developed his activity with patience, working to make known his eaux-de-vie, the passion for his profession and cultivating with his customers a relationship of quality and loyalty. He transmitted this taste for contact and sharing to his daughter, Patricia. Holder of a diploma in viticulture and oenology, Patricia went to England to study marketing. In 2009, she returned to take care of the estate with her father.
After her death in 2010, Patricia, accompanied by her husband, decided to perpetuate the tradition and family values while gradually adapting the operation of the estate.
Today, in the town of Sarragachies, the Cardinat estate extends over seven hectares, five of which are devoted to the production of Armagnac.

After more than seventy years, the vines of the Domaine du Cardinat are maintained with the same simplicity and the same natural care as when they were established.
