It was in 1838 during the reign of Louis Phillipe taht Pascal Dartigalongue, originally from Saint Lannes near Madiran, moved to Nogaro in the Gers and founded his maison d'Armagnac which is alive and well today. He very quickly realised that armagnac could be a successbul export product. Despite many difficulties he managed to send aok casks of armagnac to Bayonne where they would be shipped on to Holland And England.
In 1870 he acquired our present vineyard, "lacroutz", at Salles d'Armagnac (from which we have taken our brand name "Croix de Salles"). In about 1900 Joseph's son Henri took over the family business. It was at his time that Eau de vie officially became Know as Armagnac and acquired the appellation 'Jaune d'Or'. Thanks to the continuing expansion of the railways the trade in armagnac also continued to grow.
In 1930 Henri's very young son Pierre took on the responsibility of visiting their clients, first in France and later abroad. This initiative increased sales dramatically. In 1936, at the end of prohibition, he went to the USA and did some very good business with the Americans. After the end of the second world war he developed the sale of armagnac throughout Europe .
His son Jean-Pierre and his daughter Françoise now run the family business. They take pride in mainaining the century and half old family traditions of service and quality and living up to the family motto "My Armagnac, my strength".
The Ageing Process
In 1969 Pierre Dartigalongue set up his distillery at Salles D'Armagnac. Each year the finest white wines are distilled into armagnac. From the moment it leaves the still the colourless, crystal-clear eau de vie is stored in seasoned 400 litre oak casks called "pièces".
The armagnac is left to age for many years in our unusual 19 th century two-storey "chais". Over a period of time the tannic matter mingles with the liquid ; evaporation produces "the Angels' share"; the eau de vie takes on colour and its aroma develops.
Pascal's descendants, now the fifth generation, continue to produce fine armagnac in the time-honoured way and are proud to preserve the family tradition down to the last detail.
