Our history began at the end of the 19th century, when we founded Domaine d'Aurensan, our family home. Covering more than seven hectares, our family vineyard lies on the rich clay-limestone soils of the TĂ©narĂšze region. We cultivate our vines in accordance with their natural cycles, with particular attention paid to pruning to guarantee the quality of the harvest and the longevity of the vines.
When the grapes reach optimum ripeness, the fruit of a delicate balance between acidity and low sugar content, we pick them to begin the distillation process. Our vinification is an entirely natural process, with no oenological additives such as sulfur or chemical yeasts.
Our cellars, characterized by high humidity, are conducive to the slow, gradual aging of our eaux-de-vie. Our traditional 420-liter barrels, made from oak grown on our estate, give our Armagnacs a distinctive aromatic character. It is from the wood that the eau-de-vie draws the compounds that will mature and blossom over time.
Bottling is done to order, by hand and without filtration, directly from our estate. This process immobilizes the ageing of the eau-de-vie, and the date of this crucial stage is marked on each of our bottles, testifying to the age of the Armagnac and our commitment to preserving its heritage and quality.
