DANIS ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1978 BRUT DE FÛT

Ageing Vintage 1978, bottled March 2022, cask strength
Grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc

Before the Piquemal family devoted their Armagnac entirely to Folle Blanche, the estate also distilled Baco and Ugni Blanc. This 1978 dates from that period. It spent many long years in oak barrels, as Danis only bottles vintages of more than ten years old, and solely to order, so as to let them age in wood for as long as possible. This one was bottled in March 2022, unreduced, at 46% vol. A rare bottle, ideal for those born in 1978 or for an enthusiast curious about the history of a family estate.
