Armagnac

Armagnac is a dry white wine ‘brandy’ derived from 10 authorised grape varieties and is produced exclusively in the South-West of France –Gers, Landes and Lot-et-Garonne and in the smaller geographical regions of Bas-Armagnac, Armagnac-Ténarèze and Haut-Armagnac. Armagnac lovers can choose between young and vintage Armagnac.

The high quality is the result of low-temperature distillation. But the colour, texture and above all the aroma are also very much enriched thanks to the aging process in wooden casks. Armagnac is labelled according to age:
-          “VS” or “***”: a blend of Armagnacs which have aged for at least 2 years in wooden casks;
-          VSOP: a blend of Armagnacs which have aged for at least 4 years in wooden casks;
-          XO: a blend of Armagnacs which have aged for at least 10 years in wooden casks;
-          Hors d’âge: the best products in the world made with Armagnac that has aged for more than 10 years in wooden casks.
