Visit and Tasting, The secrets of Haut-Armagnac
Our know-how "from the vine to the glass" allows us to shape a producer's Armagnac from start to finish, young vintages with miraculous aromatic power, a perfect expression of our terroir which highlights the living Armagnac and imposes a new criterion of excellence in the region.
Our pioneering spirit is rewarded when our Armagnacs receive the Prix d'Excellence at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris in 2017, a first in Armagnac.
After a guided tour of the estate, come and taste the full range of our signature Armagnacs, our hand-sewn blends, our vintage cuvées and our Fine Blanche® (the one that gave its name to the AOC Blanche d'Armagnac), during a commented tasting with gourmet pairings. Arton offers a unique aromatic signature and an unprecedented taste experience, the promise of a unique journey in Gascony land.
