The oldest wine spirit in France, distilled continuously in the Armagnac still. Protected designation of origin.

Its colour, and what colour owes to craft

Amber from the cask, adjustable — maturation in wood, caramel allowed to even it out. See the six regimes of colouring

The thing to remember

Its continuous distillation at low strength preserves a rawer aromatic matter than cognac.
