Blanc d’Armagnac honors a forgotten French treasure: a winter-picked spirit older than Cognac. Grapes are harvested under snow in the southern mountains, when cold forces the fruit to release its highest antioxidants. Only a fraction survives, making the yield tiny and the wine precious. Many winemakers abandoned the craft as costs rose, turning Blanc d’Armagnac into an increasingly rare luxury. We chose to celebrate it — not judge it — with a scent that captures its history, cold beauty, and quiet power.

The wine’s signature aroma comes from aging in black-oak cellars torched by natural fire — three times, at three temperatures, no gas allowed. This ritual forces the oak to release its deepest essential oils into the grapes. After six patient years, the barrels produce a spirit that smells like smoked wood, warm throat heat, and a soft mineral whisper. We rebuilt this aromatic profile with precision, echoing the moment you open a bottle of true Blanc d’Armagnac.
