The walled towns and mediaeval castles in the heart of Gascony, the country of d'Artagnan, are testament to the rich history shared by the areas of Landes, Gers and Lot-et-Garonne. It is from this land that Armagnac has been produced for more than seven centuries.
The oldest spirit in France, Armagnac is obtained from the distillation of white wine in a still, followed by long ageing in oak casks.

Around 300 châteaux are open to the public, with commentaries from the wine growers, enabling visitors to discover the cellars and the vineyards, and, of course, to taste this product of the soil.
