Armagnac is a distinctive grape brandy produced in the Armagnac region of southwest France. It is made by distilling wine made from grapes like Ugni Blanc and Colombard.
Armagnac is distilled once in distinctive column stills called an alambic Armagnacais. This inefficient still produces a more flavorful spirit compared to cognac's double distillation. The resulting eau de vie is then aged in local black oak, which imparts robust tannins and spice notes.
Classification includes:
- VS (Very Special) - At least 2 years of aging
- VO (Very Old) - At least 4 years of aging
- XO (Extra Old) - At least 6 years of aging
Armagnac dates back to the early 15th century. It was consumed locally until British troops in WWII spread its popularity. Connoisseurs appreciate Armagnac's rustic, bold flavors compared to cognac's refinement.
Armagnac can be fiery when young, mellowing into dried fruit, vanilla, and nutty notes when aged. Sipped slowly, quality Armagnac expresses the hearty terroir of Gascony's rolling vineyards.
