A priority to fruity

As soon as distillation is distilled, low -to -low barrels are privileged. New wooden farming lasts only three to four months to limit wooden intake. The Terroir de keys des Dukes runs in the municipalities of Panjas, Maupas and Estang in the tradition of the house. The brand Clés des Ducs favors the fruity of lifewater to aromas that can arise from aging.

A first page in 1774

The story of Clés des Ducs was born in 1774, in the Gers, with Paul Baylac, lord of Panjas, who distills and writes the first pages of this house. In 1884, a recognized oenologist wrote that "the best brandy came from the villages of Maupas, Panjas and Estang". The adventure is launched. In 1924, the founder of Clés des Ducs bought the vines to Dame Baylac, descendant of Paul Baylac. In 1981, the house was bought by Cointreau which became the Rémy Cointreau group in 1990. In 2008, the Armanoir group bought the brand which is now part of the brand club.

Our favorite: vintage 1987

Distilled in the Bordeneuve chai in Panjas, the 1987 vintage ofClés des Ducs offers the qualities specific to all the life of this house, namely a very beautiful armagnac, rich and suave with a light wood. This Armagnac will surprise you, both by its finesse and by its character, no doubt drawn from the Bas-Armagnac terroir, these wild beasts that are found on the Landes bangs of Gers, from Panjas to Maupas or Estang.
