BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1932

• Cask oak from the Limousin forest
• Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
• Terroir tawny sands
• Distillation Armagnac-style continuous still

In October 1932, the liner Normandie was launched at Saint-Nazaire. This eau-de-vie comes from the Gascon harvest of that same year, picked on tawny sands, then distilled in an Armagnac-style continuous still. It aged in Limousin oak before joining the collection at Château de Bordeneuve, near Eauze, where Baron de Sigognac keeps each of its old vintages separately. Ninety-four years now separate the harvest from your glass. 70 cl bottle, 40% vol., prepared to order with the bottling date on the back, presented in a wooden box.
