PELLEHAUT ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1979 BRUT DE FÛT
- Cask 400-litre casks, large-grain oak from the estate and from Limousin
- Grape varieties Ugni Blanc
- Awards Silver Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2006
Aged for many years in 400-litre barrels, this 1979 earned Domaine de Pellehaut a silver medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris in 2006, as well as a place at the Trofeo Habanos Armagnac that same year. Its tasting notes describe a deep amber colour, a powerful nose of well-integrated wood, toasted hazelnut, almond and dried apricot, followed by a round, spiced palate where cinnamon, dried fruits and rancio express themselves fully. This is a pure Ugni Blanc from Ténarèze, bottled at 45% vol. The magazine Cigares had deemed it worthy of a characterful Havana cigar.
