BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1935

• Ageing until the bottling date stated on the back label
• Cask oak from the Limousin forest
• Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
• Terroir tawny sands
• Distillation Armagnac-style continuous still

In May 1935, the Normandie made her maiden voyage to New York and won the Blue Riband. That same year, in Gascogne, the harvest was picked that gave this eau-de-vie, grown on tawny sands and distilled in an Armagnac-style continuous still. Ninety-one years have passed. At Baron de Sigognac, these very old years are never blended: each keeps its own Limousin oak casks and its own character, at Château de Bordeneuve. To be sipped slowly, at the end of a meal, without ice or water. 70 cl bottle at 40% vol., presented in a wooden box; the bottling date is shown on the back.
