Domaine de Jean-Bon

Located in Toujouse, in the heart of Bas‑Armagnac, Domaine de Jean‑Bon has been a family-run estate since 1905. Today, Béatrice Sourdois Lacourt and her daughter Clémence represent the fourth generation to manage the property and its Armagnac production.

The 50-hectare farm includes 6.5 hectares of primarily Baco vines, the signature grape of Bas‑Armagnac. The remainder is dedicated to traditional Gascon mixed farming—sunflowers, corn, and livestock—preserving its deep agricultural roots. The estate’s name honors a previous generation when three brothers named Jean lived on the property; one, affectionately known as “Jean-Bon” (meaning "Good Jean"), lent his nickname to the domaine.

Distillation is done on-site with a traditional mobile alembic still, and the eaux-de-vie age in 400-liter oak barrels within a rustic, dirt-floored cellar ideal for slow, steady maturation. With annual production limited to just four to eight barrels, every step—from vineyard to bottling—is managed personally by the family.

Domaine de Jean‑Bon remains deeply connected to its heritage, producing Armagnac in small batches with precision, pride, and a strong sense of place in the Gascon countryside.
