PROTECTED ORIGIN AND BEST BARREL QUALITY

We work closely together with the small elite Armagnac houses and can always assure the best quality of barrels. Armagnac is a protected designation of origin for this type of brandy produced in the Gascony. According to a regulation from 1909, about 15,000 hectares of vineyards in the departments of Gers, Landes and Lot-et-Garonne are designated for Armagnac production. Unlike Cognac, Armagnac is not distilled in a double distilling process, but in a single distilling process. This is followed by maturation in oak barrels for three to 20 years. The longer the maturation, the higher the quality. The minimum alcohol content is 40% by volume.

"BRANDY" HAS MANY FACETS

The tradition of distilling brandy exists in different countries. But flavors and the production are completely different. We also offer various barrels in this area. In addition to Armagnac Barrels, we recommend our range of Cognac Barrels and outstanding Brandy Barrels from Spain.
