1989 was the Bicentenary of the Revolution in Paris, then, in November, the fall of the Berlin Wall. In Gascogne, that year's harvest was laid down in cask at Château de Bordeneuve. Thirty-seven years later, this Baron de Sigognac, born of Ugni Blanc or Baco grapes grown on tawny sands, distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still, then aged in Limousin oak casks, offers a fine opportunity to tell the story of a pivotal year, at coffee time. It is presented in a 70 cl Cognac-style bottle, in a wooden box.
