Our story

We are Propriétaires Récoltants since the end of 19th Century. Domaine d’Aurensan is our family house.

Our family vineyard is about more than 8 hectares, on clay limestone soils in Ténarèze.

We attend our vine all year long, according to its needs. We especially care about the pruning, suppression of vine-shoots and trellising on which depend harvest quality and vine longevity, are very carefully processed, by hands.

We only harvest when grapes have reached full maturity for distillation, which means a high degree of acidity and a low level of sugar. .

Vinification can then start on a fully natural basis with no addition of any oenological product (yeast, sulphur…). 

Our cellar has a high humidity which allows a slow and progressive ageing. Our “pièces” (traditionnal casks of Armagnac, about 420 liters) are made of wood of the oak trees of our estate. They bring all the aromatic singularity to our eaux-de-vie, because it is from the wood that the eau-de-vie takes the aromatic components that will be matured then.

Bottling is made by hand on demand, in our cellars, with no filtering. Bottling is the moment when te ageing of the eau-de-vie is definitely fixed. It is indicated on each bottle.
