The Gascony Paradox

Distilled from the 14th century onwards, Armagnac spirit is the oldest premium spirit in the world. From 1310, in a manuscript written in Latin, " The book on how to keep healthy and remain in good form " a medical man from Eauze, Master Vital Dufour referred to it, praising it with many virtues amongst which that of “conserving youth and retarding senility”.

This promise of longevity can be confirmed by facts, since the Gers is the Departement (County) in France where people live longest, which tends to prove that the French Paradox is above all a Gascony Paradox.
