How it is made

Traditional vinification to produce an aromatic wine, lightly acidic and low in alcohol. Continuous distillation in the classic Armagnac style: column stills fitted with "spider-leg" plates, ideally suited to the production of aged Armagnacs. Matured in new French oak casks (heavy char), then finished in "semi-exhausted" or "exhausted" barrels.
