Frequently Asked Questions About Armagnac
Armagnac
The oldest brandy distilled in France, celebrated its 700th years in 2011.
Armagnac is a distinctive kind of brandy produced in the Armagnac region in Gascony, southwest France. It is distilled from wine usually made from a blend of grapes including Baco 22A, Colombard, Folle Blanche and Ugni blanc, traditionally using column stills rather than the pot stills used in the production of cognac, which is made only from Ugni blanc grapes. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release.
From the youngest Armagnac to the oldest Vintages, the evolution of Armagnacs is progressive and continuous: there is no sharp aromatic boundary between a VSOP (more than 4 years in wood) and an Hors d'Age (more than 10 years under wood). The aromas of the wine concentrated by the still are enriched, evaporate, superimposed, masked, transformed, sublimated in contact with the barrel and the test of time. The work of the cellar master further enriches the aromatic palette of blended Armagnacs.
