1995 harvest, aged at Château de Bordeneuve in Castelnau d'Auzan, one of the oldest estates in Armagnac. This Ugni Blanc Bas-Armagnac, grown on fawn sands and aged in oak casks, is distilled in an Armagnac still in a single run. Bottled at cask strength, at its natural strength of 44.1% vol. and with no reduction, it comes in a 70 cl bottle, in its wooden case.
