Colombard is a native grape variety developed in the 1980s at the time when Côtes de Gascogne started to make a name for themselves. Colombard is known for its fresh, lively and enhanced notes of exotic fruits, passion and citrus fruits.
Ugni Blanc has freshness and floral notes of rose and acacias. This is the variety that we use for Armagnac. Its low sugar content makes for a better concentration of aromas, while providing a sufficiently acidic wine.
