It is in the small Gers village of Panjas, in the heart of Gers, that the cellars of the Clés des Ducs house are located, where its cellar master Jérome Zadro has just succeeded Philippe Lézama. The latter, having held the position for 35 years, has skillfully transmitted his know-how.

"Over the years, we have managed to preserve the specific character of Clés des Ducs Armagnac."

• The vast majority of Clés des Ducs Armagnacs are made from the Ugni Blanc grape variety.

• The specificity begins with distillation, where the Clés des Ducs cellar master uses medium to low barrel heating. To differentiate ourselves, Clés des Ducs has chosen to lightly wood our armagnacs by limiting aging in new oak barrels to 3 or 4 months in order to limit wood absorption.

• The brand prefers the fruitiness of the brandies over the aromas born from aging.
