The different types of armagnac
In the heart of autumn, once the harvest is over, the fresh wine is distilled. The producers of Armagnac then open their cellars and invite us to discover how the still works, which, through the alchemy of distillation, transforms wine into brandy.
From the Latin aqua vitæ, brandy is a pure alcohol obtained by fermentation or maceration for several weeks of fruits, plants or cereals. The first Gascons quickly understood how to make Armagnac a unique and highly coveted product around the world.
At Domaine d´Arton, we produce a range of three Armagnacs
. The first, directly from the still, is a pure and sparkling white brandy that we call Fine Blanche.
. The second, La Réserve, is a blend of eaux-de-vie from different years appreciated for its color with gold and copper reflections and its very beautiful aromatic complexity.
. Then the Millesime, a grand cru from an exceptional barrel with perfect balance.
Types of armagnac-La Fine Blanche
La Fine Blanche comes from the distillation of wines aged on the Arton estate. At the exit of the still ,. it is housed directly in large stainless steel tanks for several months where the degree will be slowly reduced by adding distilled water from 54 ° to 45 °. This meticulous operation will gradually reveal the fruity and floral freshness of its aromas. on each bottle are written the year of the harvest and the dates of distillation.
La Fine Blanche is an original creation by Patrick de Montal and François de Ganay, the godfathers of Armagnac blanc. In 1985, these two pioneers broke with tradition and interrupted the classic Armagnac manufacturing process to make the pure brandy that flows from the still an exceptional product. They marketed it for the first time in 1986. It was until then only a secret privilege of the distiller.
As a result, the Fine Blanche has never lived up to its name so well. Transparent. Alive. Exhilarating, it is the expression of a year. It carries all the fruity flavors of its origins. This "Armagnac in the prime of life", bottled without having aged in wood, is both traditional and innovative. The only perfectly natural brandy!

Types of armagnac-LA Reserve
Resulting from an assembly of barrels of different years which each reveal a singular aromatic line by excess of a component, for example chocolate or vanilla or pepper or other and therefore from this point of view slightly unbalanced the reserve is a recomposition from of these, an armagnac according to our taste
Praised by amateurs, it is very regularly medalized in Paris and by the juries of many international competitions.
Types of armagnac-Millesime
The Millesime is the most complete expression of our Armagnacs, it comes from unique barrels selected by us for their rare qualities of aromatic, olfactory and gustatory complexity. Raised for years in the silence of our old cellars, the Millesime s will only be published when we estimate their perfection reached
