VINTAGES FROM 15 TO 50 YEARS’ OLD
Vintage bottlings are the historic signature of Armagnac.
Maurice Lesgourgues clearly understood this when he revived the tradition in 1974, thus setting his estate apart from the other Armagnac and brown spirits producers.
Over the past three generations, the Lesgourgues family has sought to build up one of the most comprehensive collections of Armagnac vintages, aged in the estate’s cellars.
The “Celebration Vintages” offer a unique range of vintage Armagnacs, aged in Gascony oak barrels for 15 to 50 years. This long aging is accompanied by customized care given to each barrel; the cellarmaster aerates, racks, and sometimes blends these unique barrels, which are then bottled at the estate.

Armagnac is the idiosyncratic style of Brandy made in the Gascony region in South West France. Although made from the same grape varieties as its better know and nearby relative Cognac, Armagnac is a distinctly different spirit. Armagnac's ability transmit its terroir, or sense of place is attributed to the fact that unlike Cognac it is only distilled once, as opposed to twice, and is made by small producers, not a few large producers. Therefor instead of being made from a blend of grapes from vineyards across the region, Armagnacs are often from grapes grown on the distillers own plot. While the region of Bas-Armagnac reputedly makes the finest (there is also Haut-Armagnac and Armagnac-Ténarèze), due to the range of styles finding the best is often down to personal preference.
