The Secrets of Haut-Armagnac

The Arton estate opens its doors to you.

Immerse yourself in the history of Armagnac, the oldest French brandy, and discover the secrets of its production. From the vineyard to the cellars, follow the commitments of the Montal family, owner of the Arton estate, which for 40 years has been bringing Gascon brandy out of its entrenchments to produce a rare Haut-Armagnac AOC.

Our know-how "from the vine to the glass" allows us to shape from start to finish a producer's Armagnac, young vintages with unparalleled aromatic power, a perfect expression of our terroir which highlights the living water- of Gascon life and imposes in the region a new criterion of excellence.

Our pioneering spirit was rewarded when our Armagnacs received the Prize of Excellence at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris in 2017, a first for Gascon brandy.

After a guided tour of the estate, come and taste the full range of our signature Armagnacs, our hand-made blends, our vintages 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 an unprecedented journey to Gascon land.
