Complementary geographical denomination of the « Armagnac » geographical indication. It designates a sub-area of production inside the main area, with no separate product specification.
A geographical indication or an appellation guarantees an origin and compliance with a controlled product specification. It says nothing about the quality of any particular bottle, nor about how artisanal the producer is: it is a guarantee of provenance and method, not a score.
The outline drawn is the official delimitation of the area, published by INAO (INAO, Délimitation des aires géographiques des SIQO, millésime 2026-08-24, Licence Ouverte v2.0 (Etalab)), reprojected and simplified for the scale of the map. It is not an administrative document : for the area that has legal force, refer to the product specification.

A survey of the producers in this area is under way. This level of the corpus — the distillery, its history, its equipment, its archives — is the Atlas's next documentary undertaking. You can help with it.
