JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1926

• Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1926 harvest alone, unblended
• Cask Oak casks, cellars of the house in Lannepax (Gers)

Jean Cavé is located, as the house itself notes, at the heart of the appellation, in Lannepax, in the Gers; visits are welcome by appointment, on the Rue Principale.

The house's oldest eaux-de-vie rest in cellars maintained at stable humidity and temperature. This 70 cl bottle is well suited to a family celebration, to marking a birth from that year, or to a shared tasting among enthusiasts.
