JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1966

  • Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1966 harvest alone, unblended
  • Cask Oak casks, cellars of the house at Lannepax (Gers)

This 1966 vintage from Jean Cavé is bottled at 43.3% vol. It comes from a single harvest in the Gers, distilled by the house and left to age in oak casks without being blended with any other.

The house at Lannepax keeps its very old eaux-de-vie with particular care, in cellars where temperature and humidity are closely monitored. A fine gift for a 1966 birth year or a lover of vintages from the sixties.
