NEW CLASS: LAUNCH PRICE!!

Armagnac is the French oldest wine-based eau-de-vie; the first evidence of its use dates back to the year 1310!

Armagnac is produced in southwest France, in the heart of Gascony.  Obtained from the distillation of white wine in an Armagnac alambic and put to age for many years in oak barrels before being bottled, it comes as blends (made from several eaux-de-vie from different harvests) or as vintages that are specific to Armagnac (one single year of harvest). It is a craft production: annually, the Armagnac sales are barely matching 2% of the cognac sales!

Join in and discover this unique, authentic and underrated brandy, reflecting a unique French terroir. 

The goal? You will learn what it is how to enjoy it greatly!
