The wine

Maison Sempé is one of the most famous Armagnac bottlers in the world. It sources its eaux-de-vie primarily from Bas Armagnac, the region with the best quality grapes, located in part of the Gers region and in the neighbouring Landes area. White wines with a low alcohol content are favoured and distilled only once at between 53% and 63%. The cellar masters carefully select and bottle Armagnacs that respect founder Abel Sempé’’s focus on flavour, roundness and length.

Its eaux-de-vie are mainly from Bas-Armagnac, the appellation’‘s most prestigious cru. The range includes young Armagnacs, very old Armagnacs and vintage Armagnacs chosen for their special qualities.
