Sip Snapshot from Belford & Co

Amber tends to brown, with a mild nose, dominated by the wood of slowly matured rancio, with a supple, caressing mouth in which the alcohol gives way to notes of wood, rancio, cocoa, chocolate and more as you warm the glass.

About the producer

The story began with a Swiss family who fell in love with the land of Armagnac, in Gers, Gascony. At the turn of the century, Paul and Marguerite Gessler moved to Joy. Contrary to what one might think, Joy is the name of the vineyard. Having inherited this love from their parents, Andre and Vronique Gessler, then their sons Olivier, became aware of the rich soils and favourable exposure of some of the parcels. They gradually abandoned polyculture in order to devote a large portion of the estate to vine-growing. They focused on their love of white grape varieties in particular. Then they embarked on a quality-oriented process to produce generous, modern and refined de Gascogne wines, as well as a carefully selected range of supple and fruity Bas-Armagnacs. Today, the 4th generation is at work in the form of Vanessa and Kevin Gessler, Oliviers daughter and son, who keep their love for this terroir alive.
