Anthema Spirits Anthema d'Azur Bas Armagnac VS 70cl

Anthema d’Azur Bas Armagnac VS is a youthful, cocktail-friendly expression that brings a modern visual identity to one of France’s historic spirits. Presented in the house’s vivid blue bottle, it was created as a tribute to the skies of Gers, where bright blue horizons contrast with rolling green hills. The style is described by the producer as light yet earthy, designed to bring new life to old favourites while keeping the character of Bas Armagnac at its core. On the nose, Anthema describes fresh floral and citrus notes. The palate develops a gentle spice through the mid-section before settling into a subtle finish of freshly ground coffee. That progression gives the spirit a profile that feels bright on first sip, then warmer and more layered as it opens in the glass. The blend is confirmed as 70% Baco and 30% Ugni Blanc, combining lift, structure and aromatic clarity in a way that suits both mixing and neat pours. The house roots this bottle firmly in Gascony. Anthema says its grapes are sourced from the best plots in the heart of Gers, on the border of Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze, before the wine is distilled in a single continuous copper column still during the winter months. The broader house philosophy also centres on preserving the natural character of the eaux-de-vie, using minimal wood influence and avoiding additives so the spirit retains freshness and fruit. For serving, use in classic cocktails such as the Sidecar, Espresso Martini and French 75, making this an easy bottle to place on a home bar. A reputable UK retailer also suggests pairings including smoked fish, game dishes, mushroom omelette, chocolate mousse and pear tart, all of which suit its floral, spicy and lightly coffee-toned profile. Bottled at 43% ABV in a 70cl format, and selected by The Independent as its “Best modern armagnac” for 2025, Anthema d’Azur makes a distinctive gift for cocktail lovers and curious Armagnac drinkers alike. Enjoy responsibly. Directions Use in a Sidecar, Espresso Martini or topped with sparkling wine for a French 75 Manufacturer Contact Information Anthema Spirits
