Armagnac Marquis de Puysegur is one the oldest estates in Armagnac in the heart of the Bas Aramagnac region. Armagnac was made by the Chateau as early as the 1500’s. Jacques de Chastenet de Puysegur was the first to introduce Armagnac to King Louis XIII of France. These brandies, aged in oak cask in their cellars take on the particular amber color and subtle aromas which are characteristic of Armagnac. Armagnac Marquis de Puysegur still honors the name of its prestigious ancestors. Coming from their own vineyards in the Lower Armagnac, the soils are renowned for their tawny sand soil. The best suited wines, from the Baco, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche grape varieties, are selected then distilled in their column stills. This procedure provides traditional rich and typical aromas. Armagnac is a distinctive style of French brandy produced in the region of the same name in the heart of Gascogny. The officially demarcated area for the production of Armagnac encompasses three districts which lie in the “departments” of Gers, Landes and Lot-et-Garonne. The Bas-Armagnac produces the highest quality, most refined and complex Armagnacs.
