How it is made

Vinified and distilled on the estate using a traditional Armagnac alembic, aged in oak casks, artisanal production of exceptional quality. For five generations, the Dèche family, as owner-growers, have distilled Armagnac from their own vineyards, earning regular recognition from the specialist press both in France and abroad.

The vineyard stands on the gently rolling hills to the north-west of Eauze, the capital of Armagnac, where sandy-clay soils and the sandy soils known as "sables fauves" alternate across the landscape. This distinctive terroir of the Bas-Armagnac zone is renowned for producing delicate, fruit-forward eaux-de-vie.
