"A harmonious, pure white Floc!
"The domaine, which knows how to do everything and do it well, has harvested two great Favorites, the only ones of the year in the appellation. The first goes to this little jewel, polished by a long stay in barrel, which has altered neither the pale color nor the intense nose of exotic fruit and white peach. The sweetness melts nicely into a full, caressing, honeyed palate, rounded by the ageing, which restores the purity of fruit perceived on the nose. A model of harmony". (Le Guide Hachette 2025) - Screw-cap - Try it in a White-Mule cocktail!

Winemaking
In the 1st year, the Armagnac grape varieties are harvested and distilled (only for the white varieties) in inert stainless steel tanks for 12 months. In the 2nd year, the white grape varieties (for Floc blanc, red for Floc rosé) are harvested and pressed, then the musts are put into vats up to 2/3 of the way to add the remaining 1/3 in Armagnac (this is called mutage). This blend is kept in vats for several months before being sold on March 15th of the 3rd year.
