clés des ducs Armagnac 2009

Ageing 2009 vintage, single harvest, unblended
Cask Oak casks, light wood influence

Distilled from the 2009 harvest, this eau-de-vie has rested in oak casks without ever entering a blend, in keeping with the Clés des Ducs vintage rules. The cellar master selects casks that bring length and smoothness, keeping the oak in the background so that the character of the year can speak for itself. A still-young vintage, lively and approachable, ideal for discovering single-harvest Armagnac. The 70 cl Exception bottle, at 40% vol., comes presented in its cardboard gift box, making it a perfect choice for a 2009 birthday or as a keepsake of that year.
