Welcome to Armagnac.com
In the southwest of France, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, lies the protected area of Armagnac, in which brandy has been produced since the early 14th century. Armagnac is the older but still unknown brother of cognac. You are one of the first to recognize the fantastic quality of this spirit! Do you remember the times when Scotch whiskey from the 60s and 70s was still affordable or when Velier rums were gathering dust on the shelves? When limited releases didn't sell out in 30 seconds?

Armagnac ist ein Gebiet im südwesten Frankreichs, zwischen Bordeaux im Norden und Toulouse im Osten. Seit 1936 ist Armagnac als geschützte Herkunftsbezeichnung (AOC - Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) definiert, was Herkunft und Herstellung streng regelt. Das Gebiet ist in drei Regionen unterteilt, welche sich durch ihre Bodenbeschaffenheit und klimatischen Bedingungen unterscheiden:
- Bas Armagnac
- Armagnac Ténaréze
- Haut Armagnac
How is Armagnac made?
Wine

distillation
The distillation takes place in a traditional column still, the "Alambic Armagnacais". The result is an Eau de Vie with an alcohol content of around 52% to 60%.
