Production of the Vieil Armagnac X.O. 0.7l by Marie Duffau

The production of the Vieil Armagnac X.O. 0.7l by Marie Duffau begins with selected, aromatic white wines traditionally obtained from the local grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Baco Blanc. These grapes form the ideal basis for the characteristic finesse of Armagnac. After selective harvesting, the wines undergo natural fermentation to preserve fresh fruit aromas.

Subsequently, slow distillation takes place in the traditional copper Alambic Armagnacais, a still specially developed for the production of Armagnac. This unique distillation technique ensures the concentration of fine aromas and the flavor depth of the brandy. The individual fractions are carefully separated to give only the best quality for aging.

The aging of the Vieil Armagnac X.O. 0.7l by Marie Duffau takes place in old oak barrels that give the distillate its unmistakable woody notes. The long storage period is at least ten years, during which the spirit develops its complex structure and velvety fullness. During this phase, notes of roasted oak wood and subtle roast coffee present themselves, refining the flavor profile.

The careful blending of vintage-spanning Armagnacs preserves the consistent quality and robust character of this XO edition. Every drop stands for the passion and craftsmanship of the Duffau family, who have been known for outstanding Armagnacs for generations.
