Situated in the heart of Gascony, the area surrounding the Château de Monluc has been inhabited continuously since Neolithic times, with the castle evolving over centuries from the original wooden watchtower to the imposing walled mansion that it is today. Back in the 16th Century, the castle was home to Blaise de Monluc (1500 - 1577), a Gascon captain who distinguished himself during his long military career to obtain the office of Marshal of France at the age of 74, in gratitude for services rendered for no less than five different kings of France. These days, it is home to the fifth generation of Armagnac producers, expressing a passion rooted in terroir and history. With the ardour of a Gascon captain, here they aim to help people discover and appreciate the art of Armagnac for years to come.

How to enjoy

Begin by relishing the Armagnac for all of its powerful aromas and take it on the nose.

The personality of Armagnac Monluc XO is delectably sweet - drink it neat or on the rocks to allow the aromas to dance with joy on your nose and palate.
