The 2013 harvest from Château de Bordeneuve, in Castelnau d'Auzan, one of the oldest estates in Armagnac. This Ugni Blanc, grown on tawny sands, is distilled in a single pass in the Armagnac still, then aged in oak casks until bottling. It is offered at cask strength, at its natural strength of 50.2% vol., without reduction: an Armagnac for enthusiasts who appreciate character. Delivered in a 70 cl bottle in its wooden box, it suits a 2013 birth or birthday gift as well as a personal cellar.
