Highlights
  • Château Arton - Haut-Armagnac is not common. It is a land that had
    disappeared after phylloxera, which explains its rarity (5% of the
    total production of Armagnac). The Montal family is one of
    first to replant the vines there in 1991. Because Arton defends the idea
    that Armagnac is part of the culture of wine.
    This tasting will be an opportunity to savor the whole range
    of Armagnacs, from the signature blend to young vintages,
    exclusively from the estate’s vines.

Additional Information

Our expertise extending ‘from the grapevine to the glass’ permits us to meticulously craft a producer’s Armagnac from inception to actualisation, bestowing upon the young vintages a staggering potency of aroma. This is a sublime portrayal of our native soil that enables us to bring forth the vibrant essence of Armagnac and set a novel standard of preeminence in the region.

In recognition of our trailblazing endeavors, our Armagnacs were distinguished with the Prix d’Excellence at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris in 2017. This represents an epoch-making achievement in the realm of Armagnac.

Indulge in an illuminating exploration of our vineyard, and subsequently, delight in a comprehensive sampling of our signature Armagnacs - our skillfully fused blends, our exclusive vintage editions, and our esteemed Fine Blanche® (that bequeathed its moniker to the AOC Blanche d’Armagnac) – all while partaking in an insightful tasting session replete with gastronomic pairings. Arton furnishes a singular aromatic fingerprint and an unparalleled flavor journey, indeed a promissory note of an exclusive excursion across the terrain of Gascony.

Tres Magnifque!!!! - Two weeks ago my family and I stayed at Chateau Naudou near Puymirol for the wedding of our daughter. During our stay we decided to take a day trip to Chateau Arton, and were treated to one of the absolute finest tours we have ever experienced. Lili greeted us and hosted a tasting of the incredible wines and spirits produced by her family. She oozes passion and knowledge about the chateau, the family, the grapes, the terroir, the wines and the special spirits. Her enthusiasm, her beauty and her charm won us all over and we all ended up purchasing several bottles of this liquid gold! Highly recommended! There is a reason this venue has an overall 4.9 rating! If you visit you will be treated to a wonderfully memorable experience!”
