Armagnac Brandy

Armagnac is a small region in the south-west corner of France which is accepted by many as the oldest producer of wine-based brandy. This aromatic spirit is made from a single distillation of white wine, in processes strictly regulated by the rules of the four Armagnac appellations: Armagnac-Tenareze, Blanche d'Armagnac, Bas Armagnac and Haut Armagnac.

All four appellations have their own individual influences, lending a different character to the Armagnac produced. Variations in climate and soil (terroir) between the appellations mean that each has its own subtly distinct style.

There are ten different grape varieties permitted in the production of Armagnac. Baco Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard are the four most important, followed by Jurancon and Graisse.
