BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1964

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

Sixty-two years after the harvest, this Baron de Sigognac 1964 remains the portrait of a single year: it has never been blended. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on tawny sands and distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still, the eau-de-vie was aged in Limousin oak casks. It then joined the reserves of Château de Bordeneuve, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, where the house's old vintages are kept one by one. Sigognac bottles are filled to order only, with the bottling date on the back. Size 70 cl.
