How it is made

Our Armagnacs are the result of carefully balanced blends of eaux-de-vie drawn from the finest production areas of Armagnac and Bas-Armagnac. Distilled and selected with the utmost care, these eaux-de-vie are housed in oak casks from Gascony and left to mature in our cellars until they reach their ideal drinking age.
