BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2009

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

An Armagnac from 2009 is meant for a birth, and the time is approaching to make it a gift for a coming of age, in 2027. The harvest, grown on fawn sands, was distilled in an Armagnac-type continuous still, then aged in Limousin oak casks. The Baron de Sigognac, whose clocks counted the years, would not have disowned this round, delicate Bas-Armagnac, where brown sugar and cocoa converse with a discreet rancio. The 70 cl bottle comes in its Baron de Sigognac wooden case, ready to be given.

Aged for around fifteen years in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie offer a young, fruit-driven profile, with notes of flowers, fresh fruit and gentle spice.
