Bas-Armagnac

Bas-Armagnac is a wine brandy produced in the Armagnac region of southwestern France. Recognized in 1963, the Bas-Armagnac Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is characterized by soils composed of tawny, clay-siliceous sand and boulbènes, an ancient type of silt. These soils produce fruity, refined, and complex brandies that are highly regarded. Bas-Armagnac is made by distilling dry white wines, and its alcohol content is 40% vol. or higher.

The production area for Bas-Armagnac covers approximately 1,500 hectares and extends across the municipalities of Labastide-d’Armagnac, Mauvezin-d’Armagnac, Lagrange, and Betbezer-d’Armagnac, all located in the Landes department.

The quality and reputation of this distilled wine have allowed it to gain international recognition, thanks in large part to products offered by estates such as Domaine du Tariquet.
