PELLEHAUT ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2000 BRUT DE FÛT

Cask 400-litre casks, coarse-grained oak from the estate and from Limousin
Grape varieties Folle Blanche
Awards Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2022

The 2000 vintage retains a straw yellow colour, a sign of a Folle Blanche that is still relatively young. On the nose, toasted notes gradually give way to spices and cinnamon. The entry is supple, then the palate quickly comes alive with fresh gingerbread. The domaine reports a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2022 and another at the Talents de l'Armagnac, 2017 edition. The most recent Folle Blanche releases from Pellehaut are aged in part in barrels that previously held its white wines. Cask strength, 50% vol.
