SAINT-VIVANT Armagnac VS, also known as "3 étoiles," is crafted from Bas Armagnac grape varieties. It matures for one year in oak barrels, allowing subtle white floral aromas to emerge. As the oldest brandy distilled in France, Armagnac dates back to 1559, when St. Vivant de la Salle first crafted it from his vineyards in Gascony, located in southwestern France.
