Vincent Laterrade grew up in Vic-Fezensac, a village in Armagnac’s Ténarèze region. In his 30s, he was a sommelier at the famous 3-Star Michelin restaurant Michel Guerard, where he honed his palate tasting some of France’s greatest wines. Having grown up with Armagnac but having never studied it, he began discovering small, regional producers, sampling the treasures of many growers distilling Armagnac, not to sell in bottle, but to eventually sell to a négociant to help fund either a building project or their own retirement. He soon found two other like-minded enthusiasts of the category and went on to form L’Encantada, releasing vintage Armagnacs from unknown domaines to a growing number of aficionados around the world. Vincent became a hunter of rare Armagnacs and developed an impressive collection.
