Jason Wilson tasted the four armagnacs in Le Barreur’s Les Tresors du Chateau de Mons, The Forgotten Grapes Series, and called them “truly outstanding”.
Four nearly forgotten Armagnac grape varieties, replanted at Chateau de Mons by the Gers Chamber of Agriculture and the BNIA in the early 1990s, then distilled separately and left in cask. Clairette de Gascogne, Meslier St Francois and Jurancon from 1996, Plant de Graisse from 1997. One cask each, bottled at full proof in 2026.
