Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with the region's signature dishes like magret de canard, duck confit, and foie gras, Armagnac is a spirit that is sure to delight the senses. Explore our collection and discover the unique flavors and aromas of this cherished French spirit.

Armagnac Aurian A25

What?

Maison Aurian A25 “Le A de Aurian”

Who?

Maison Aurian was founded in 1880. Joseph Dupeyron obtained some first lots of Armagnac and began to age and blend them. Marius Aurian later joined, thus giving the first link to the Aurian family name. Philippe Aurian would go on to develop the wide offering of drinks still seen today: aperitifs, liqueurs, Armagnacs, etc. Fast forward to 2018 and it’s Florent and Isabella who took over the family business. They have a love for the Armagnac region and especially the products they put in bottle. They have a strong desire to continue to be innovative and bold, and they are keenly interested in sustainable development. It is worth noting that Maison Aurian does not possess vines themselves. Instead, they source from local growers that they have worked with year after year and provide the level of quality required for the Maison Aurian name - which is undoubtedly very high.

Armagnac

How?

The Aurian A25 (Le A de Aurian) is a blend of Armagnacs all of which are at least 25 years old. It is bottled at 45.9% and as all Armagnacs from Maison Aurian, it does not contain any sugar, coloring, or other additives whatsoever. The packaging is quite unique too and perfectly demonstrates Aurian’s eye towards sustainable development and short-circuit production. The square decanter is produced in France, the wood box the bottle comes in is made up of local wood, and the cork stopper is actually made of local stone. It has tremendous heft, exudes a real sense of quality and has presence on one’s table.

Reason for choosing

Simply put, this is textbook mature Armagnac with a wonderful balance between fruit, oak, and spices.

Nose

Fruity, nice wood note - pine and other fragrant woods, great tug of war between fruits and oak. Figs, dates, canned peaches, and fragrant miel de fleurs

Palate

Very fresh, tannins from the oak contract the cheeks, the same tug of war between the fruits and woods is present. Not an oaky Armagnac, but also not a fruity one either - complex and balanced between oak and fruit. Dry and very rich in flavor. Textbook!
