The Floc de Gascogne (translated: bouquet of flowers) is a typical regional liqueur wine. It is a fortified wine originating from the wine-growing area of Côtes de Gascogne, located in the southwest of France, known in French as Sud-Ouest.
This traditional aperitif from Gascony is a blend of unfermented grape juice (2/3) and young Armagnac (1/3), which matures for at least 18 months in old casks. Almond, jasmine, roses, honey, dark fruit, and spices are characteristic aromas. The blend originated in the 16th century.
Since 1990, Floc de Gascogne has held the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée designation.
