Baron de Sigognac
In the Armagnac house it is said that the Baron of Sigognac, fascinated by the idea of time and its flow, makes a change to all the watches he finds in the cellar: on these watches, the dial had ten divisions instead of twelve. Thus, the seconds had become years, the minute hand moved only once every two decades and the hour hand marked the centuries. This is how the Baron discovers the almost esoteric rite of aging in Armagnac: the slow passage of time and patience.
Legend also has it that the baron used to separate each harvest into different barrels and was the first to realize he wanted to sell his brandies as real vintage armagnacs. Today, Armagnac is a distillery of absolute importance, based on two fundamental principles: the exclusive use of reliable and traditional production methods and the choice of quality in every phase of production, starting with the care of the vineyards and respect for traditions. . Thus, tasting an Armagnac is an experience of life, the deliberate and conscious choice to sip a distillate of boundless quality.
