BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1936

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

1936 is the summer of the first paid holidays, when whole families discovered the seaside or the countryside. That year's Gascon harvest, Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on tawny sands, gave the eau-de-vie in this bottle, which turns ninety in 2026. Distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still, it was aged in Limousin oak and then joined the reserves of the Château de Bordeneuve, where Baron de Sigognac keeps each of its vintages separate. For a 90th birthday, it is hard to think of a more fitting gift. The 70 cl bottle, at 40 % vol., is filled to order, bears its bottling date on the back and arrives in a wooden box.
