Bas-Armagnac ("Lower Armagnac"; Occitan: Baish Armanhac) is one of the three plantation areas in the Armagnac area of France where grapes for the distillation of the Armagnac eau-de-vie can be cultivated. It extends over the Landes and Gers departments and represents 57% of the vineyards. It lies in the west, beside Armagnac-Ténarèze, an undulating area; the grapes grow in acidic, argillaceous and stony ground. Iron rust colors parts of the soil and these spots are called ’’sables fauves’’. Major towns in the Armagnac region include Eauze, Cazaubon and Nogaro.
The most famous producers of Nogaro : Maison Dartigalongue, Domaine de Joÿ, Château de Laubade, Domaine de Miquer, Domaine de Lassaubatju etc.
