Character & context

Understanding Armagnac

Armagnac often feels more direct and idiosyncratic than its northern cousin. Continuous distillation, regional grapes and long ageing can produce prune, spice, leather, flowers and deeply savoury notes, with vintage bottlings offering a precise sense of time.
