AURIAN is a flavoured wines, liqueurs and spirits craft producer and trader in the heart of South-West France. Our origins date back to 1880, when Mr. Dupeyron was one of the most prominent Armagnac and wine traders in Gascony. Decades later, Dupeyron's grand-son Philippe AURIAN specialised in flavoured liqueurs and spirits. AURIAN products are handmade and based on homemade fruit infusions, natural aromas and most often a mix of both.
One hundred years after its great-great-grandfather, who in 1880 traded the noble spirit that is Armagnac, Maison Aurian began to develop recipes for aperitifs and liqueurs, in the heart of this generous and fertile land offered by the Gers. Craftsmen at heart, we still advocate our values of excellence and daring in the development of new recipes. Still and always a family business, there are more than 200 tests per year, distilled to give only a selection of a handful, which allows us to offer only the best to all those who appreciate our true and authentic products. The Aurian house and its small team are happy to offer you several dozen wines with fruit, herbs and other spices, liqueurs and other subtleties such as eaux-de-vie, and of course Armagnac.
Their goal is clear: to continue to manufacture an artisanal product as we have been doing for 140 years, without artifice and without compromise, and to continue like their elders to innovate and challenge, by daring, in excellence.
