The Roz?s family has been distilling Armagnac for four generations. Domaine d'Auresan is a 5 hectare estate with southwest facing vineyards situated on chalky, clay soil. They grow Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Folle Blanche, and Plant de Grasse - a heritage varietal they are growing for its fat texture and long-lasting aromas. The latest generation, headed by sisters Sophie and Caroline, are moving the domaine to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Trying to achieve the purest spirit possible, the fermentation is done with natural yeast, no sulphur is used, and the brandies are aged in local Gascon wood casks that are 420 liters in volume. The casks are made from trees that grow on the estate. The brandies are then bottled according to their ?Triple Zero? philosophy - no sugar, no coloring, no water. T?nar?ze Armagnacs are known for their richness and expressions of dried fruits - figs, dates - and sweet spice. The unadulterated brandies bottled by Domaine d'Aurensan express this terroir. The manipulations used by the majority of Armagnac n?gociants mask its origin, making them nearly indistinguishable from the other appellations' brandies.
