The Armagnac production

In Armagnac, the wine is distilled in a continuous still, typical of the area.

Armagnac is the only brandy to have vintaged products.

After distillation, the Armagnac is aged in oak barrels. The oak is originated from the Gascogne and Limousin forests. The tannins from the oak are dissolved in the brandy and this one is slowly oxidized by the air coming through the wood.
Some of the Armagnac is evaporated through the aging process and this is called the Angel's share.
