CHÂTEAU DE BORDENEUVE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2001 BRUT DE FÛT

  • Ageing until the bottling date indicated on the back label
  • Cask oak
  • Grape varieties 100% Ugni Blanc
  • Terroir Bas-Armagnac, sables fauves
  • Distillation armagnacais still, single pass, at 56%

The 2001 is recognised by its pale yellow robe with luminous golden highlights. The nose, fine and elegant, blends prune and exotic fruits with beautiful notes of vanilla. The palate, full of finesse and delicacy, echoes the exotic fruits, and the long finish drifts towards vanilla and rancio. The eau-de-vie was distilled in a single pass, at around 56%, then left in cask until it reached 48.6% vol., the strength at which it was bottled. Presented in a wooden case.
