JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1999

Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1999 harvest alone, unblended
Cask Coarse-grained oak, medium toast
Distillation Continuous

On 11 August 1999, a total solar eclipse swept across northern France. In the Gers, the harvest that followed yielded the eau-de-vie of this vintage, distilled continuously by Jean Cavé and aged in oak casks. Bottled at 48.3% vol., it has never been blended. It is presented in an Olympe decanter with a wooden arch, as with all the house's single cask expressions. A fine choice for a birth, a 1999 wedding anniversary, or any significant milestone.
