How it is made

Traditional vinification to obtain an aromatic wine, slightly acidic and low in alcohol. Continuous distillation in the Armagnac tradition: column stills fitted with "spider-leg" plates, ideal for the production of aged Armagnacs. Matured in new French oak casks (heavy toast), then finished in semi-exhausted or fully exhausted barrels.
