ARMAGNAC

Armagnac was the first eau de vie created, by distilling mature white wines. Its terroir is located in three main sectors: Haut-Armagnac, Bas-Armagnac and Armagnac-Ténarèze, which straddles the Gers, Lot et Garonne and Landes departments. In 1310, French physician Vital Dufour published a medical treatise listing its 40 virtues. First and foremost, the beverage was an excellent medicine for the treatment of physical and mental disorders. Armagnac improves over time, so the oldest bottles are much sought after.
