BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1965

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

This 1965 vintage aged in Limousin oak before joining the collection of Château de Bordeneuve, on the tawny sands near Eauze. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco and distilled in an Armagnac-style continuous still, it has had sixty-one years to soften its edges. The round, fruity Sigognac style moves with age towards dried fruit and woody notes. Serve with a square of dark chocolate or a strong espresso to prolong the end of the meal. 70 cl Cognac-style bottle, filled to order, with the bottling date on the back.
