Our philosophy is based on solid, long-term foundations.<\/p>\n

Attached to our territory, we are wine grower from generation to generation. Our management of the estate, focused on sustainable development, is based on the protection of soil and biodiversity, the quality and identity of our products, the quality of life at work and human relations. <\/p>\n

This guiding line naturally led us to commit to a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach. Our approach is based on five values that are essential to us: conviviality, trust, respect, high standards, innovation. <\/p>\n

Our sustainable viticulture, implemented in the early 1990s, allows us to achieve our objective of zero pesticide residues both in our soils and in our wines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Vines are perennial plants. In fact, when one generation plants a vine, they will produce their best fruit for the following generation. Growing grape vines is not unlike raising children. They have been cared for since they were small plants. They require constant attention. Vines are planted in a particular spot, in a particular terroir, so that they may have the best chance of success. They are supported as they grow and mature, nourished, and protected against diseases and other potential hazards. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At Domaine Tariquet, this ranges from the caring of the vine and its soil to that of the natural and semi-natural areas of ecological interest which intermingle with the vine parcels: hedges, forests or ponds.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

And when its time, it\u2019s also necessary to plan ahead the vines\u2019 replacement every thirty or forty years, after letting the soil rest for a few years so that it may regenerate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wine, too, needs time to reach its full potential. To make a wine, the cellar master must respect the successive stages of winemaking. Great wine is as much a product of patience as work. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Armagnac is a product of region\u2019s culture and heritage and is a symbol of the continuity of work done through successive generations. <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The heart of Domaine Tariquet beats with a passion for Armagnac. It is the thread which links every generation of the Grassa family together. And in the darkness of our centuries-old cellars, the precious liquid that is maturing in row upon row of barrels, for years and sometimes decades, represents the devotion and passion of the previous generation’s work, know-how<\/a><\/u>, and long-term perspective.<\/p>

This ageing is the reflection of a long-term vision. We produce Armagnacs that will be bottled by the next generation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Grassa family vision of Domaine Tariquet has always been viewed through the lens of long-term thinking. Today, Armin and R\u00e9my, the fifth generation, are continuing an adventure that began long before them, and which they want to see continue well after they are gone. This adventure, started by their ancestors, opened the way for several generations of pioneers to follow. Each generation takes care to pass on the knowledge acquired over time to ensure that Domaine Tariquet not only continues but gets even better. <\/p>\n

Armin and R\u00e9my are here to not only run the estate today, but to project it into the future. In that vein, how today\u2019s decisions affect long-term impacts are a continual reflection.
Any major decision taken today must also be useful and beneficial in ten, twenty, thirty years or more. <\/p>\n

Long-term benefits are always favoured over the short-term interest.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thus, the estate does not hesitate to invest significantly in Research Development, which requires imagining what the future holds for the estate and how to best prepare for that reality.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, Armin and R\u00e9my continue Domaine Tariquet\u2019s philosophy of doing as much as possible \u201cin-house\u201d: from the planting of the vines, the work in the vineyards, the harvesting, winemaking, distillation, ageing, bottling, storage, to finally the marketing of the bottles of wine and Armagnac, administrative functions and customer service.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Our involvement in sustainable agriculture since the early 1990s has been formalised since 2019 through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach. An independent organisation regularly audits our commitments and their application. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In reality, the \u201clong term\u201d plays on four temporalities which are not exclusive but overlap.
<\/p>\n

 That of the seasons during which the vine develops and bears fruit.
That of the production of wines and the ageing of Bas-Armagnacs  over several years, or even decades.
That of the life cycle of a parcel of vines over thirty to forty years before replanting.
That of a continuous preparation for the future, and subsequent generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
