PELLEHAUT ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1984 BRUT DE FÛT
- Cask 400-litre casks, coarse-grained oak from the estate and from Limousin
- Grape varieties Ugni Blanc
The estate sums up its 1984 in a few indulgent words: an amber hue, an eau-de-vie with notes of vanilla and liquorice resting on a base of cauldron caramel, and a finish that is very much all cocoa bean. This is an Ugni Blanc distilled in a traditional armagnacais still, aged in 400-litre casks and bottled at cask strength, here 41% vol. That moderate degree for a cask strength expression makes this an approachable eau-de-vie, a natural companion to coffee or a square of dark chocolate after dinner.
