This eau-de-vie from 1984 was aged at Château de Bordeneuve, ten years after the Guasch family arrived at the estate. Forty-two years have passed since the harvest. It comes from Ugni Blanc or Baco, grown on tawny sands, and was distilled in an Armagnac-style continuous still, then aged in Limousin oak casks. Presented in a 70 cl Cognac-style bottle, it makes a natural gift for the 42nd birthday of anyone born in 1984.
