BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1987

  • Cask Oak
  • Grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Baco

Aged at Château de Bordeneuve, the 1987 harvest has matured in oak casks without ever being blended. Thirty-nine years on, it retains the profile that the house describes in its tasting note, reproduced below. Baron de Sigognac produces small quantities and bottles only to order, which means the Armagnac remains in cask until the very last moment. A generous gift for a 39th birthday, on the eve of the forties. 70 cl, 40% vol., presented in a wooden box.

ColourAmber with golden highlights
NoseRefined and complex, passion fruit, delicately vanilla-tinged
PalateSmooth and generous, candied fruits
FinishLong, dried raisins, delicately woody
