Family traces go way back to 1246, in the form of the KingÕs Musketeer, DÕArtagnan (born Charles de Batz), but it was really not until around the middle of the 19th century that the GŽlas family linked its own destiny to that of Armagnac. In 1865, Guillaume GŽlas, a respected barrel maker, bequeathed his business to his son Baptiste, who in turn created the Maison GŽlas. He duly moved into the premises currently occupied by the firm and embarked on the business of making and selling Armagnacs.
In 1910, his son Louis acquired a property planted with Manciet vines, the Ch‰teau de Martet (Martet Castle) which is still in the family fold.
After the Second World War, Pierre followed in his fatherÕs footsteps and lent the family firm an international dimension. He revolutionised his times by offering on an exclusive basis Armagnacs hailing from the terroirs or local regions of Bas Armagnac and La TŽnarze, at their natural degree of ageing, without reduction. This unique selection of proprietors lends the resulting product a fine reputation at the grandest of tables, be it in France or abroad.
