Recommended as an aperitif, served chilled but without ice, Floc is smooth, fresh and full of juicy, fruity flavours.  In order to retain the Floc's freshness and aromas, it is best drunk the year following its purchase.

At Domaine de Lauroux, we use aged Armagnacs in our Floc de Gascogne - this makes a notable difference to the taste - giving extra warmth and depth.

Floc de Gascogne is still very much a well-kept secret but thanks to authors like Joanne Harris(www.joanneharris.co.uk), Floc is reaching a wider audience.
