<p class="p1"><strong>DISTILLING<br /><br /></strong>The marc is diffused 3 to 5 days in water that has been made mild. <br />The obtained liquid is then continuously distilled in Armagnac copper stills.<br />Only the heart of the distillate that has 72% volume (of alcohol) is selected. <br />A part of the marc is directly distilled with the calenders. A judicious blend of these is what gives &ldquo;Arbeau-de-Vie its remarkable characteristic. <br />This eau-de-vie is reduced to 40% volume with pure spring water or distilled water. <br />The ageing lasts 8 months in vats.</p>
<p class="p2"><strong>TASTING</strong></p>
<p class="p1">The hue is crystal-clear and the liquid leaves fat and steady marks on the glass. <br />The nose is full of grapes that reveal a slight perfume of white flowers and pears. <br />In the mouth, after the alcohol's hot sensation, fresh grapes and pears return.</p>
