Baron de Sigognac VS Armagnac 

Baron de Sigognac VS Armagnac is made by a family that trace their roots back to the 12th Century. The Armagnac they make is artisan and made in small batches. The company owns one short column still which is almost a century old, and it produces around 50-60 casks a year.

In Armagnac, legend has it that, one day long ago, Baron de Sigognac took all the traditional clocks out of his cellars. Fascinated by the mystery surrounding the way Armagnac ages so well, he had some very strange timepieces made. On these clocks, the face had ten divisions instead of twelve.The seconds had become years, the big hand moved only once a decade and the hour hand marked the centuries. Baron de Sigognac had found the core of the mystery of Armagnac ageing : time and patience... The legend adds that, with time, Baron de Sigognac who had thoroughly separated each harvest in different casks took first the idea of selling his brandies as genuine vintaged Armagnacs.

The Baron de Sigognac distillery is a traditional one. It is located on the north wing of the main cellar, an old imposing building in the very heart of the vineyard. At Sigognac, the distillery is primarily the place where the secrecy of the house know-how holds an uttermost importance. The distillation is this magic moment when the entirely natural wines give birth to the sublime Sigognac Armagnacs.

As soon as it is distilled, the Baron de Sigognac Armagnac is already unique and high class. At this point, it is instantly placed in new oak barrels!
