L'Encantada, the excellence of cask-strength Armagnac and immersive experiences in the Gers region

Welcome to L'Encantada, an independent, artisanal distillery nestled in the heart of the Gers region, in Vic-Fezensac. As a producer, winemaker, and merchant, L'Encantada has established itself as a benchmark for spirits enthusiasts seeking authenticity. Driven by a team of passionate individuals, the distillery showcases rare and pure eaux-de-vie, offering the very best of Gascon craftsmanship just 25 minutes from Auch.

RAW, UNRATED, AND CONFIDENTIAL ARMAGNACS

At L'Encantada, Armagnac is showcased in its purest form: cask strength. Here, the brandy is crafted without artifice: no filtration, no added sugar, wood, or caramel. This approach preserves the full personality and aromatic complexity of the terroir.

The house's unique character lies in its meticulous selection of single casks, often from estates that no longer exist. Each vintage thus becomes a rare gem, impossible to reproduce, a true testament to a liquid history. Since 2023, the House has taken a further step by distilling its own Armagnac using a 1920s direct-fire still, a historic tool that lends the new vintages an inimitable character.

Spirit Tourism at the Heart of the Winery: Experiences to Enjoy All Year Round

L'Encantada doesn't just produce, it shares. Having become an essential stop on Gers' spirits tourism trails, the establishment offers fun and educational activities to introduce both the curious and the experts:

• Blending workshop: step into the shoes of a cellar master for 2 hours. After tasting and testing different profiles, you create your own blend and leave with your personalized 20cl bottle.
• 2CV Tour: Treat yourself to a vintage escape on country roads. Between vineyards and charming villages, this outing celebrates the Gascon way of life and concludes with a guided wine tasting.
• Cellar tours & discoveries: learn the secrets of distillation, barrel aging and the history of this thousand-year-old brandy.

Boutique and custom-made gifts

The Vic-Fezensac shop, open year-round, is brimming with treasures for epicureans. You'll find, of course, the house's Armagnacs, but also:

• Personalized miniature bottles, ideal for making a statement at a wedding or corporate event.
• Large format bottles and elegant gift sets.
• A carefully curated selection of exceptional spirits and products, from Gers and elsewhere.
• Gift cards to offer a complete immersion (visit or workshop) to your loved ones.

The Advent Calendar: an eagerly awaited event

A major innovation and a source of pride for the house, L'Encantada is the only one to offer a 100% Armagnac Advent Calendar. This handcrafted set contains 24 three-cl vials of cask-strength Armagnac. It's the ideal tasting tool to help you count down to the holidays while discovering the diversity of Armagnac terroirs. An essential item for your end-of-year gift selections and a guaranteed hit for 2026!
