clés des ducs Armagnac 2013
- Ageing Vintage 2013, single harvest year, unblended
- Cask Oak casks, light oak influence
Thirteen years of marriage is a lily of the valley wedding anniversary; thirteen years of age is exactly what this 2013 Armagnac has reached. Clés des Ducs aged the harvest alone, in oak casks, without blending it. Whatever the character of the year, the cellar master selects the casks for a long, rich and smooth eau-de-vie, with deliberately light oak influence. A young and expressive vintage, ideal as a digestif or to set aside for a family celebration. Exception bottle, 70 cl, 40% vol., cardboard gift box.
