Description
Armagnac is a grape brandy from the Gascony region of South-Western France. Its closest relative is Cognac, another grape-brandy from an appellation located about 100 miles north of Armagnac. Even though it is related to and often confused with Cognac, Armagnac is very different with regards to its grapes, terroir, distillation, élevage, blending, aromas, tastes and textures. In truth, France's two finest brandies made from wine are not very much alike at all. Armagnac pre-dates Cognac by about 150 years but never achieved the widespread sales figures that its relatives in the Charente obtained as Cognac suppliers had better transport links home and abroad. Armagnac is made from distilled wine, and grapes are the first factor that gives it an original personality.
