PELLEHAUT ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1992 BRUT DE FÛT

• Cask 400-litre barrels, coarse-grained oak from the estate and from Limousin
• Grape varieties Folle Blanche
• Awards Gold Medal at the Talents de l'Armagnac, 2019-2020 edition; Silver Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2012

With the 1992, we turn to Folle Blanche, the oldest grape variety in Armagnac, which the estate reserves for its finest and most complex eaux-de-vie. The estate's tasting notes describe a deep amber-orange hue, an elegant nose of well-integrated oak and yellow peach, and a palate that is lively yet highly expressive, with peach and greengage. This vintage was awarded a gold medal at the Talents de l'Armagnac competition, 2019-2020 edition. It is bottled at 49 % vol., its natural cask strength straight from the oak barrel.
