clés des ducs Armagnac 2010
- Ageing 2010 vintage, single harvest year, unblended
- Cask Oak casks, light wood influence
The 2010 harvest yielded this eau-de-vie, which Clés des Ducs left to age in oak casks without blending it with other years. A still-young Armagnac, where fruit remains in the lead and the wood stays light, just as the cellar master intends. The house, whose roots go back to 1774 in Panjas, presents this vintage in its 70 cl Exception bottle, bottled at 40% vol., with a cardboard gift box. A fine choice for anyone born in 2010, to be kept until the day they are old enough to enjoy it.
