Château Arton was recognized with the highest honor in France, The Prix d’Excellence, by the French Ministry of Agriculture in 2017. Out of 22,000 products, Arton was chosen as the top Brandy in all of France, not just Armagnac. Chateau Arton La Réserve is a blend of 4-11 year aged estate grown Haut Armagnacs, carefully handpicked and blended by Patrick de Montal. This Armagnac, which comes from a family with an 800-year history in the region, consistently receives prestigious awards and represents the true authenticity and character of the category. It is produced by Patrick de Montal and his wife Victoire de Montesquiou at their home near Lectoure, France. The aroma of this Armagnac is fruity and enticing, with hints of dried fig and toffee. It has a light and spiced taste, starting with candied ginger and honey and finishing with oaky vanilla, plum skin, and orange peel.
