« Here time has stopped »
A remarkable collection of rare and ancient vintages, crafted, distilled and matured in our XII century Gascony Chai.
Staying true to nature’s design, our Armagnacs remain pure – no artificial colors, no added sugars, no additives. Natural reduction techniques shape these exceptional cuvées, preserving their authentic character.
The estate’s chapel, with its finely tempered atmosphere, serves as our aging sanctuary, where the angels’ share – nature’s gentle evaporation – works its quiet magic.
