Clos Martin - Marussia Beverages USA


All Clos Martin Armagnacs are produced with a traditional savoir-faire that gives their products a pure style. All Clos Martin Armagnacs are produced using small traditional stills to capture the floral and lively aromas of the local grape varieties.

These precious liquids are aged in demi-muids or casks, and are crafted mainly from winegrowers cellars until they are ready to see the light again. These rare eaux-de-vie, supplied by a small group of local winegrowers, express the character of the people from Gascony, forged under the influence of the Pyrenees Mountains: Honesty, Pride, and Generosity.

"Nurturing Armagnac is a pleasure. Armagnac has been in the life of my family for generations."

Denise, 85 years old

Cellar Master

"All I know, I learned on the job. I started working in Armagnac at the age of fourteen."

Guy, 70 years old

Distiller

"I just fell into Armagnac!
It's a job of passion, and everything about Armagnac makes me feel passionate: the product, the job, the human contact with the people."

José, 58 years old

Negotiant & Master Blender

"Armagnac is the foundation of our region. This is why 25% of my production of wine goes towards distillation, while most winegrowers today distill next to nothing. It's an expensive process, and it takes a lot of patience to reap the rewards."

Jean-Christophe, 48 years old
