BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1996

Cask Limousin oak
Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
Terroir tawny sands
Distillation continuous Armagnac-type still

Thirty years is the age of this 1996 eau-de-vie, and the pearl wedding anniversary for couples married that year. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on tawny sands, the harvest was distilled at Château de Bordeneuve, near Eauze, in a continuous Armagnac-type still, then left alone in a Limousin oak cask. For a thirtieth birthday, it can open a small tasting: served first, before an older year, it shows the path Armagnac takes over time. 70 cl bottle, filled to order, delivered in a wooden box.
