A photograph taken on February 9, 2021 shows samples of Armagnac from different years lined up for blending in the wine cellars of the Chateau Laubade, in Sorbets, near Eauze, in the department of the Gers, south western France. - The American surtax of 25% on Armagnac is difficult to accept for the exporters of this French liquor. Since January 12, 2021, the United States, under Donald Trump's administration, has imposed this new tax which, for example, makes the price of a bottle of Armagnac jump from 100 to 125 dollars, a tax that already affects wines since October 2019, but not Champagne.
