BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1967

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

The eau-de-vie in this bottle comes from the 1967 harvest, grown on tawny sands from Ugni Blanc or Baco, and distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still. It spent decades in Limousin oak casks before joining the collection at Château de Bordeneuve, where Baron de Sigognac keeps each year separate. Fifty-nine years have passed since the harvest: an anniversary sometimes marked quietly, on the eve of the sixtieth. The house only fills its bottles to order, which leaves the Armagnac in cask until the last moment; the bottling date is printed on the back. 70 cl bottle, in a wooden box.

1967 was a year of global tension, marked by the Vietnam War and China's Cultural Revolution, while in France a generation was quietly laying the groundwork for the May 68 uprising. The Gascon harvest of that year yielded eaux-de-vie that, after nearly six decades of ageing in oak casks, display a silky character, balanced between candied prunes and gentle vanilla sweetness.
