Château Garreau is one of the very few estates owning its personal continuous stills. Its distilling academy has trained many distillers. The quality of the wine, the know how of the distiller and the performance of our continuous stills built in 1919 and 1932 combine in Château Garreau to deliver the eldest spirit of France known since AD 1310 for its 40 virtues.
