ARMAGNAC
Armagnac is produced in the South-West of France (the Gers department, the East of the Landes and the South of the Lot-et-Garonne). Armagnac is made from 10 different grape varieties, including Ugni Blanc. The diversity of grape varieties authorized by the AOC Armagnac decree is due to the viticultural tradition of the region which also produces tasting wines. The Armagnac still is a double-column copper still with trays, for a continuous distillation: the wine is distilled only once and the brandy comes out with a low alcohol content (54°).
