This 1997 harvest is a single-year armagnac, aged in Limousin oak casks. Twenty-nine years have passed since the grape harvest: a vintage that is still lively, retains its fruit and is well suited to a first discovery of vintage armagnacs. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on tawny sands and distilled in an Armagnac-style continuous still, it is also very pleasant to sip in the late afternoon, with a few dried fruits. It is presented in a 70 cl bottle.
