Craftsmanship
Grapes—predominantly Baco 22A and Ugni Blanc, with Colombard and Folle Blanche—are harvested from the estate and vinified into white wines suitable for traditional distillation. Distilled in a continuous “Armagnacais” column still, each varietal retains its full character. The brandies are aged in 100% local Gascony oak barrels, capturing authentic flavors while naturally maturing over two decades. Blending is meticulously overseen by the Lesgourgues family to ensure balance, elegance, and depth.
