DANIS ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1999 BRUT DE FÛT

  • Ageing Vintage 1999, bottled March 2022, cask strength
  • Grape varieties Folle Blanche

Younger than its elders in our selection, the 1999 carries the hallmark of Danis: Folle Blanche alone, distilled in a travelling alembic still, aged in oak barrels and bottled without reduction at 46.5% vol. The Piquemal family tends 38 hectares of white-wine vines on the edge of the Landes forest, and bottles only eau-de-vie aged more than ten years. This one was bottled in March 2022. It is a fine introduction to the older vintages from the estate, or a birth-year bottle for 1999.
