Nismes-Delclou Armagnac

(1) Ugni Blanc grape is ideal for distillation due to its high acidity and low alcohol wines, that after distillation produce fine eaux-de-vie of high quality.
(2) Colombard grapes are valued in the vinification of the local Côtes de Gascogne wines, its distillation is rarer. Its fruity and spicy aromas are very appreciated in blends.
(3) Natural vinification occurs without oenological products such as sulphur dioxide. There is no fining or filtration prior to distillation (distilled on the lees).
(4) A continuous Armagnac alembic is a pure copper still that was patented in 1818 by a stone maker in Auch, Sieur Tuillière, under the reign of King Louis XVIII. The still has been adapted, modified, and improved by the region’s distillers. A Rowan Alembic Still is used alongside the traditional alembic.
(5) The eaux-de-vie casks are kept in a unique 16th century cellar, carefully monitored, aerated, and blended. Up to 50-60 years, then transferred into Dame Jeanne glass containers. First aged in new barrels for a few months, then transferred to exhausted barrels
