What is Bas-Armagnac?

Bas-Armagnac is one of the three production zones of the Armagnac appellation, located in the western part of Gascony, covering parts of the Landes and the Gers. The region is known for its sandy, silty soils called "sables fauves", which contribute to the finesse and aromatic complexity of the eaux-de-vie produced here. Grapes like Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Baco are distilled using a traditional Armagnac alambic, then aged in oak barrels. The result is a spirit marked by notes of dried fruit, prune, spices, and noble wood. Often regarded as the most prestigious subregion of Armagnac, Bas-Armagnac produces elegant and expressive spirits, perfect for both aging and immediate enjoyment.
