The Floc de Gascogne (translated: bouquet of flowers) is a typical regional liqueur wine. It is a fortified wine from the wine-growing area of Côtes de Gascogne, located in the southwest of France, called Sud-Ouest in French.
This traditional aperitif from Gascogne is a mixture of unfermented grape juice (2/3) and young armagnac (1/3), which matures for at least 18 months in old barrels. Almond, jasmine, roses, honey, black fruit, and spices are characteristic aromas. The mixture originated in the 16th century.
Since 1990, the Floc de Gascogne can be called an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée.
