Transparency and traceability

Patrick de Montal is convinced of one thing: to pay tribute to the Armagnac, this "wonderful", "you have to accompany all the stages of its development, from the grapes to the bottling, and thus guarantee those who taste it its reliability ”. The owner of Château Arton Then launched into a work of "transparency" and soon "traceability", a word that was not yet fashionable at the time. "Only harvesting owners can boast of their Armagnac with self -denial and dedication from one end of its production to the other," said Patrick de Montal. Forty years later, his son Jean and his daughter-in-law Lili continue with them the great adventure of Arton.

An adventure started in 1979

It was in 1979 that Patrick de Montal and his wife Victoire de Montesquiou launched a completely crazy bet: turn his back on their Parisian life to buy the beautiful Domaine d'Arton, in Lectoure, in the Gers. With a secret ambition: to restore the coat of arms of this wine estate on the lands of their childhood, their families, in this Gascogne which they have at the heart and in passion. The bet is launched, the adventure begins. The Montal will revive this property and make it a reference in Armagnac, in this Haut-Armagnac Gersois.

A terroir of truth

The Domaine d'Arton is "a terroir of truth" tell its owners. "Authentic, abrupt. A land of pebbles and Garennes, that of a rigorous nature. Because on this terroir of Haut-Armagnac everything is contrasting: both wild and drawn. A land of effort and character that looks like the Montal family. But Arton is also a land of innovation (Patrick de Montal is the first to have created a Blanche d'Armagnac) on which Lili and Jean de Montal carry projects and ambition. The Arton vineyard is rich in 88 hectares of vines, planted with eight grape varieties, and enjoys excellent natural conditions conducive to the development of wines in the estate and its Armagnacs.

Its nose exalts assertive notes of lime and grapefruit with which a hint of redcurrant mixes. On the palate, the hazelnut, on a citrus bed, tempers this beautiful liveliness while the finish is fresh and joyful.
