BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1949

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

1949 is the year Jour de fête, Jacques Tati's first feature film, was released, with its cycling postman in a French village. The Gascon harvest of that same year gave this eau-de-vie, born of tawny sands, from Ugni Blanc or Baco, distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still. It was aged in Limousin oak casks and is still kept at Château de Bordeneuve. Baron de Sigognac keeps each vintage separate there, with no blending. In 2026, seventy-seven years separate the harvest from your glass. The note provided by the house appears below. Cognac-style bottle of 70 cl, filled to order, dated on the back, presented in a wooden box.
