Following distillation the brandies are immediately stored in new casks of 450 litres made of oak from nearby forests. It is only after several years of ageing in wood that Armagnac acquires its natural golden hue, and its subtle and lingering aroma.
Strict and frequent controls determine when Armagnac has reached the desired maturation in wood.

It is the cellar master who defines the ageing period.
Once ageing is complete this ultimate secret art of blending starts in order to give Armagnac brandies a fuller expression of their respective age, qualities and characteristics.
