clés des ducs Armagnac 2007
- Ageing Vintage 2007, single harvest year, unblended
- Cask Oak casks, light oakiness
This Clés des Ducs comes from the 2007 harvest alone, aged in oak casks without ever being blended with any other year. The cellar master of the house, which has belonged to the Armanoir group since 2008, selects his casks to craft an Armagnac that is long, rich and smooth, underpinned by a light oakiness. A still-lively age, where the fruit remains front and centre. A fine gift for anyone born in 2007, or to mark an anniversary. Exception bottle, 70 cl, 40% vol., cardboard gift box.
