CHÂTEAU DE BORDENEUVE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2004 BRUT DE FÛT

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

The house sums up the 2004 in two words: finesse and great aromatic complexity. With a lovely bright, golden-hued robe, it opens on notes of candied fruit and prune, then reveals more unexpected aromas of nutmeg and straw. It comes from pure Ugni Blanc, slowly distilled in Bordeneuve's copper column stills, and is bottled at cask strength, here 49.6% vol. A wooden case is included.
