  • Terroir Eauze
  • Distillation Armagnac still

Armagnac from the 1993 vintage, produced by the Bordeneuve house at Castelnau d'Auzan, in the Gers, and run through the Armagnac still. It bears the mention of the Eauze terroir. It is offered at cask strength: bottled at its natural strength of 48.2% vol., without reduction. The 70 cl bottle comes in its wooden box, making it a natural gift for a birth in 1993, a birthday or a date that matters. Those born in 1993 will find a vintage the same age as themselves, to share or to keep.
