BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1983
- Cask Limousin oak
- Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
- Terroir tawny sands
- Distillation Armagnac-type continuous still
June 1983: Yannick Noah wins Roland-Garros and the whole of France carries him in triumph. The harvest of that same year, from tawny sands and Ugni Blanc or Baco, was distilled in an Armagnac-type continuous still, then aged in Limousin oak casks at Château de Bordeneuve, near Eauze. Forty-three years later, this Baron de Sigognac bears the mark of that single harvest, unblended; the house tasting note is reproduced below. An idea for a tennis enthusiast or for a loved one's 43rd birthday. 70 cl bottle, delivered in a wooden box.
