The Bas-Armagnac region, home to the finest vineyards for Armagnac production, is characterized by its rolling hills interspersed with dense woods. The mild and humid climate, coupled with a sun-kissed autumn, plays a pivotal role in shaping the nuanced flavors and aromas found in Armagnac de Montal. The grape varieties utilized in its creation include Folle Blanche, Ugni-Blanc, Bacco, and Colombard.
In order to capture the maximum essence of the grapes, the wine is distilled immediately after harvesting. Armagnac de Montal adheres to traditional methods, utilizing either a copper still or a large organ, which enables the vapors to rise, carrying with them the essence of the spirit. The aging process takes place in white oak barrels, undergoing an unusually extended period of maturation, resulting in the distinctive golden hue and enticing aromas of vanilla, lilac, and notably, plum.
