- Terroir Bas-Armagnac, sables fauves

The 1987 is the oldest vintage from Bordeneuve in our selection. A pure Ugni Blanc from the sables fauves, it was distilled in a single pass, leaving the still at around 56%, then aged alone in oak casks until the bottling date shown on its back label. Time has brought it down to 47.8% vol., with no water added. The house describes an amber robe with mahogany highlights, a refined nose of vanilla, cinnamon and candied oranges, a great deal of roundness, and a long finish of toasted almonds. It is presented in a wooden gift box.
