From a simple distiller to a producer of Grand Cru ...
Joseph Dupeyron, a distiller based in the heart of Gascony, founded the family business RYST-DUPEYRON in 1905, in order to conserve his refined elixirs. Passing down his savoir-faire through the five family generations, today his great-grandchildren conserve his passion, running the family company.
The Hotel de Cugnac and its 'Paradise'
The head office of Ryst-Dupeyron Armagnac is based in Condom, in the “Gers” department in the southwest of France. An 18th Century classic, stone-built impressive building with its 100-year-old cellars only just a few metres away and it’s stone vaulted galleries which house the 400 liter Gascon oak casks where its reputed eaux-de-vie sleeps for the duration of its long ageing.
