Château de Monluc, a unique Gascon address

In Saint-Puy, Château de Monluc overlooks an estate where heritage and wine production complement each other. The site has been inhabited since the Neolithic period, and its architecture has changed over time, from an ancient watchtower to a fortified residence surrounded by ramparts.

The castle's name also refers to Blaise de Monluc (1500–1577), a Gascon captain who became a Marshal of France. This military past, deeply linked to local history, is reflected in the imagery of Pousse Rapière and the assertive character of the house.

An Armagnac signature rooted in Ténarèze

Château de Monluc Armagnac is part of the Ténarèze landscape, one of the Armagnac appellation's terroirs. The house has cultivated this identity for five generations, with cuvées that allow for exploring different styles and aging periods.

Among the references presented on Cap Vintage are vintages from 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, and 1999. The selection also includes Ténarèze Armagnacs from other years, a VS, an XXO, and an organic 2009 reference. Information on alcohol content, format, and availability is detailed on each product page.

Le Pousse Rapière, the emblem of the estate

Château de Monluc's Pousse Rapière is the specialty most immediately associated with the house. Designed for sharing, it is part of the tradition of Gascon aperitifs and is best enjoyed chilled, on its own or in a homemade preparation.

Several references and formats are offered according to availability, with alcohol contents of 20°, 24°, and 36°. Each bottle thus has its own use: an accessible aperitif, a more expressive version, or a large format for gatherings around the table.

Floc de Gascogne and other Château productions

Château de Monluc is not limited to Armagnac. Its world also includes Floc de Gascogne, Vin Sauvage, and liqueurs. The white Floc and rosé Floc offer two complementary interpretations of the regional aperitif, balancing fruity freshness and aromatic sweetness.

This diversity makes the house interesting: the same address allows one to go from a spirit for aging to an aperitif bottle, then to a wine or liqueur designed for another moment.

Which Château de Monluc bottle to choose?

A vintage is a tasting or gift choice linked to a specific year. The VS allows one to approach the house style directly, while the XXO and carafes are for connoisseurs looking for a more distinguished presentation. For a Gascon aperitif, Pousse Rapière or Floc de Gascogne are the most natural options.
