Janneau crafts its VSOP Armagnac with precision, tradition, and a deep respect for Gascony’s heritage. Founded in 1851, Janneau remains one of the oldest and most revered Armagnac houses in the region. They select grapes from Bas Armagnac and Ténarèze, two areas celebrated for producing elegant and structured eaux-de-vie.
The team at Janneau uses both continuous and double distillation, a rare combination in Armagnac production. This dual approach creates a spirit with exceptional balance, combining richness with refined aromatic clarity. They age the spirit for a minimum of eight years in French oak, doubling the legal requirement for a VSOP.
Janneau matures the eaux-de-vie in Limousin and Gascon oak barrels, which impart gentle spice and depth. Over time, the spirit draws flavour and colour from the wood, developing remarkable complexity and smoothness.
On the nose, Janneau VSOP offers inviting aromas of dried apricots, figs, and toasted almonds. Hints of vanilla, nutmeg and soft oak follow, creating a rich and layered bouquet. Each swirl of the glass reveals more warmth and subtlety.
On the palate, this Armagnac delivers ripe orchard fruit, stewed plum, and gentle spice. Mid-palate, flavours of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and clove unfold with grace. The oak influence remains balanced, offering structure without overshadowing the spirit’s natural vibrancy.
Janneau finishes the experience with a long, warming tail of vanilla, prune and sweet spice. The texture stays velvety and clean, encouraging slow, contemplative sipping. This is a spirit that rewards attention.
Enjoy Janneau VSOP neat, with a splash of water, or alongside a fine cheese board. Pair it with tarte Tatin or a cigar for added indulgence. Janneau VSOP stands as a benchmark of mature, expressive Armagnac – rich in tradition and crafted with care.
