A house born in 1934

It is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic houses in Armagnac. The personality of its creator, Abel Sempé, is not unrelated. This scholarly Gascon, passionately in love with his region, was an exemplary resistant within the Armagnac battalion, before entering politics. He was notably senator from Gers. All his professional life, he never ceased to grow his Armagnac brand founded in 1934 in France and abroad. For fifty years, Abel Sempé had his house and the Gascon brandies shine.

The pleasure of sharing

This is the philosophy distilled by the creator of the Maison Sempé. It is the company's common thread. Since the disappearance of the senator, the Maison Sempé has cultivated the same ambition of innovation, of novelty in its marketing approach. This desire to share pleasure and best brandy still guides the team of the Maison Sempé now backed by a wine group Gascon, within the Brands Club which brings together several houses in Armagnac. This dynamic brand bears in it respect for ancestral know-how and keeps the concern of being accessible to the greatest number.

Bas-Armagnac brandy

Maison Sempé mainly distills wines produced in Bas-Armagnac. The distillation of these wines is carried out at the end of the fermentation to obtain aromatic and complex water-of-life. The success of the Armagnacs Sempé : "A good acidity of the wines, a heating of the soft and regular still, an irreproachable oak futaille at the right toast". A recipe that cellars and distiller are transmitted for "fine, sweet and round brandies without ever losing sight of the terroir and its unique character. Thus, character and roundness are the signature of the Armagnacs Sempé.

Our favorite: Sempé Bas-Armagnac 1994

Among the great richness of the Sempé vintages (the house offers dozens of vintages, sometimes very old) we selected the 1994. This Bas-Armagnac (40%) was distilled in Panjas (Gers). It is presented in a Milady type bottle. At tasting, it offers a nose of a beautiful amplitude and particularly fruity. On the palate, this 1994 vintage book of vanilla and gently spicy aromas. This flexible brandy is also characterized by a persistent finish.
