What is Armagnac?

Armagnac is a wine-based brandy from southwest France, produced primarily in the Gers, Landes, and Lot-et-Garonne. It predates Cognac and differs in its artisanal approach and distillation method—often using a continuous alembic called the "alambic armagnacais". The appellation includes three subregions: Bas-Armagnac (the most renowned), Ténarèze, and Haut-Armagnac. Made from grapes like Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Baco, and Colombard, Armagnac is aged in oak barrels, developing a rich, complex bouquet of dried fruits, prunes, spices, vanilla, leather, and tobacco. Each house brings its own style, reflecting its terroir, history, and aging philosophy.

Darroze – Vintage Bas-Armagnac in its purest form

Since the 1970s, Darroze has championed a pure, transparent approach to Armagnac. Each bottling comes from a single estate in Bas-Armagnac and is labeled by vintage, without blending or additives. This method highlights the true identity of the terroir and the influence of time. Darroze Armagnacs are aged in French oak barrels, offering silky textures and deep complexity. The "Grands Assemblages" collection also provides age-specific blends (8, 12, 20 years…) with perfect balance and finesse.

Delord – An iconic family-run Armagnac house

Founded in 1893 in Lannepax, Delord is one of the most respected artisan producers of Armagnac. Four generations have upheld full control over the process—from vineyard to bottling. Delord Armagnacs are known for their aromatic richness, delicate fruit, and rounded, mellow textures. The house offers a wide range of styles: from younger blends to rare vintages and gracefully aged spirits. Each bottle is a testament to time, craft, and Gascon soul.
