CHÂTEAU DE BORDENEUVE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2006 BRUT DE FÛT

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

The 2006 is a vintage of freshness. Beautiful pale yellow colour, a fine nose marked by fresh notes of lemon zest and vanilla, a round and elegant palate with delicate fruitiness: the house notes emphasise its vibrancy, through to a fresh and intense finish. The Ugni Blanc used in this eau-de-vie was grown on the sandy soils of Bas-Armagnac. It was distilled in a single pass, then aged alone in oak casks. Bottled at cask strength, it is presented in a wooden gift box.
