Floc de Gascogne is the canonical Gers aperitif, a sweet fortified wine made by blending Armagnac into Gers grape must. Reservations recommended in season.
Floc de Gascogne dates to at least the 16th century in the Gers, originally as a way to use young Armagnac and surplus grape must on Armagnac-producing farms. The drink received AOC status in 1990 and is now produced in red, white and rose styles. The Floc Confrerie, founded in 1985, defends the traditional recipe of one-third Armagnac to two-thirds grape must.
