L'Armagnac, la plus vieille eau-de-vie de France. Obtenu par la distillation de vin blanc dans un alambic traditionnel à taille artisanal, l’Armagnac vieillit de longues années en fûts de chêne, bois au contact duquel il développe ses arômes et prend sa couleur ambrée.
Gascony, located in the southwestern part of the country, is famous for housing France's oldest brandy: Armagnac. Armagnac has been distilled from white wine here for more than seven centuries. You can also try Floc de Gascogne, a subtle blend of grape juice and Armagnac.
