How it is made

Vinified and distilled on the estate using a traditional Armagnac still, then aged in oak casks: artisanal production of the highest quality. For five generations, the Dèche family, estate growers and distillers, have been producing an Armagnac from their own vines that is regularly praised by the specialist press, both in France and abroad.

The vineyard sits on the rolling green hills to the north-west of Eauze, the capital of Armagnac, where sandy-clay soils alternate with pure sandy soils known as «sables fauves». This distinctive terroir within the Bas-Armagnac zone is renowned for producing delicate, fruit-driven eaux-de-vie.
