J. de Maillac Bas Armagnac Hors d'Age

The Maillac estate, founded in the 12th century by Lehande Maillac, is an iconic site in the Gascony region and the birthplace of France's oldest eau-de-vie, Armagnac. Located in the heart of the controlled appellation region, this estate preserves a tradition of excellence and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
To maintain this tradition, the estate still seals its bottles with two wax seals bearing the family crest, a practice that has been carried out by hand for centuries. This attention to detail reflects their commitment to ancient methods and the desire to preserve the exceptional quality of their product.
The Armagnac from the Maillac estate, particularly the "Hors d'Age Extra," is the result of a harmonious blend of rare eaux-de-vie aged for over 20 years. This extended aging process imparts exceptional quality and balance, contributing to its outstanding reputation. The "Hors d'Age Extra" is the worthy successor to the first Armagnacs created by the estate in the early 20th century, making it a prestigious product.
Additionally, Maillac's Armagnac is guaranteed to come from the fauves sands of the terroir, a characteristic of the Bas-Armagnac region, which adds to its unique and distinctive profile.
