BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1952

  • Ageing in cask until the bottling date shown on the back label
  • Cask Limousin oak
  • Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
  • Terroir tawny sands
  • Distillation continuous Armagnac-type still

This eau-de-vie from 1952 aged in Limousin oak casks for decades before joining the reserves of Château de Bordeneuve, in the Bas-Armagnac. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on tawny sands and distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still, it is aged by Baron de Sigognac, vintage by vintage. The house fills its bottles only when an order is placed, to leave the Armagnac in cask for as long as possible; the bottling date is printed on the back. In 2026, seventy-four years have passed since the harvest. The house style is recognised by its roundness and long finishes. 70 cl bottle, in a wooden box.
