JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1991

Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1991 harvest alone, unblended
Cask Oak casks, the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

Jean Cavé describes the ageing in a few stages: once distillation is complete, the cellar master places the eau-de-vie in local oak casks, where it absorbs tannins and aromas.
