BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2011

  • Ageing 2011 vintage
  • Cask oak from the Limousin forest
  • Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
  • Terroir fawn sands
  • Distillation continuous Armagnac-type still

Baron de Sigognac 2011 comes from the cellars of the Bordeneuve house, in Castelnau d'Auzan, in the Gers. Made from Ugni Blanc or Baco grown on fawn sands, distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still, it was aged in Limousin oak casks. It is round and rich, with a fine length. Fifteen years after the harvest, it makes a ready-made gift for a 2011 birthday, birth or wedding, true to the Baron, who trusted only his palate to judge age. It is bottled at 40% vol. in 70 cl and comes in its wooden case.
