clés des ducs Armagnac 1996

Ageing Vintage 1996, distilled at Panjas, unblended

This eau-de-vie from 1996 is the perfect match for anyone born in 1996 or for a wedding celebrated that year. It comes from a single harvest, distilled at Panjas and aged in oak casks without ever being blended. The cellar master at Clés des Ducs selects the casks that yield a long, mellow Armagnac in which the wood remains discreet. Its long years in cask have already brought great depth without erasing the fruit. Presented in a 70 cl Exception decanter at 40% vol., in a gift box: a gift that hits exactly the right note.
