Château Arton Haut-Armagnac in the Gers
Owner Harvester since 1991, in biodynamic and permaculture conversion.
Armagnac is not a brandy
It stands out in the spirits landscape because it preserves the vitality of wine from which it comes. Its exquisite taste expresses all the aromatic power of the terroir. Our white lands of Haut-Armagnac AOC give our Armagnacs a unique mineral flavor that reveals aromas of flowers and fruits , an aromatic palette with perfect balance .
This originality leads Patrick de Montal to plant his vines to raise his wine and his Armagnac and to consider the vintage published as a "unique piece" as the most accomplished expression. At Arton, we have dedicated ourselves to developing the purest and most exceptional expressions of Armagnac. Everything, from the vine to the wine, from the wine to the Armagnac, must be carried out on the estate and in such a way as to best embody the terroir and the know-how of Arton . An expert in vintages and unique pieces, Château Arton is also the birthplace of the first white Armagnac, created in 1986.
After more than forty years spent developing a demanding and innovative wine culture, Patrick and Victoire de Montal have managed to give their Gers estate its letters of nobility. From the creation of Fine Blanche® to the development of Armagnac vintages published as unique pieces , they have never stopped defying prejudices, succeeding in the challenge of raising their Haut-Armagnac to the rank of the best French eau-de-vie in 2017!
It is this exceptional story that their children Jean and Lili de Montal decided to continue by settling at the estate. Leaving Paris in turn, they brought a new ambition, a bold environmental initiative and a major institutional and cultural project.
