  • Cask Limousin forest oak
  • Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
  • Terroir fawn sands
  • Distillation Armagnac-type continuous still

Harvested in 2001, distilled in an Armagnac-type continuous still, then aged in an oak cask from the Limousin forest: this Baron de Sigognac now has twenty-five years of life behind it. It is born in Castelnau d'Auzan, in Bas-Armagnac, on soil of fawn sands, from Ugni Blanc or Baco. Its pale yellow colour, its nose of prunes and vanilla and its spicy finish make it a ready-made gift for a 25th birthday, a birth or a wedding. It is offered in a 70 cl bottle, with its Baron de Sigognac wooden case.
