Everything on Armagnac soil is what constitutes the quality of a great terroir :<\/p>\n
The soil, dividing the region in three distinct territories. From the calcareous soil of Haut Armagnac to the tawny sands of Bas Armagnac, through the clay-limestone grounds of T\u00e9nar\u00e8ze.<\/p>\n
The climate, with its mild and sunny autumns, ideal for grape ripening.<\/p>\n
The forest, which protects the vines from passing bad weather and, more importantly, for its oak, where Armagnac ages and metamorphoses. It isn\u2019t rare to find domains where vines and oaks grow side by side before merging to offer incomparable eaux-de-vie.<\/p>\n
The people, the Gascons, who – although they are nothing compared to the beauty and quality of the terroir – work passionately and with all of their heart for the production of this extraordinary product.<\/p>\n
The Armagnac production is divided into three areas of appellation : Bas Armagnac, Armagnac T\u00e9nar\u00e8ze et Haut Armagnac. Bas-Armagnac is the Northernmost region of the appellation and was given its name because of its geographic position, lower than the other regions ( 60 to 120 meters above sea level against 150 to 200 meters for Haut-Armagnac). Spreading across the Gers region and the Landes region, its soil is composed of clay sand in which are found marine sediments. This region is considered to be the one giving the finest and most aromatic armagnacs, making Bas-Armagnac the jewel of the appellation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everything on Armagnac soil is what constitutes the quality of a great terroir : The soil, dividing the region in three distinct territories.

\n<\/span>These appellations coincide with distinct zones of geologic characteristics, giving Armagnac a character and aromatic profile unique to the place of cultivation of the vine.<\/p>\n
