Armagnac Larressingle was founded in 1837 in Armagnac Tenareze, in the fortified village of Larressingle. Being one of the purest representative of the Gascony tradition, they concentrate their efforts to perpetuate its know-how and keep the Armagnac original flavour. This is why they select exclusively wines from these traditional terroirs, known for their boulbenes and clay-limestone soil. On these terroirs, the eaux-de-vie are powerful and full-bodied, holding exceptional cellaring potential.

In Larressingle, two centuries of tradition yield the single best-selling Armagnac in the United States. Larressingle VSOP Armagnac is produced from a cross-vintage blend of Armagnacs 5 to 7 years of age, as opposed to the legal minimum of four, and exclusively from wines from the Bas Armagnac and Ténarèze districts. To produce the light, smooth texture expected in the finest Armagnacs, 20% of the blend is double-distilled.

Tasting notes

This Armagnac is supple and full-fruited, with a rich, smoky bouquet reminiscent of prunes and a lingering, mellow finish.

Serving suggestions

The highest-quality Armagnac is usually enjoyed after dinner as a contemplative drink. It should be served at cool room temperature and allowed to warm in the glass, which slowly releases waves of aroma. Pour about 1 inch of Armagnac into a thin tulip-shaped glass or a snifter. The glass may be held in the palm of the hand to warm the liquid. Pause to smell the aromas, then take small sips to appreciate the Armagnac’s smooth texture, its expressive layers of flavor and its lengthy finish.
