Clés des ducs Armagnac VS

  • Ageing Aged 18 months in cask
  • Cask Oak casks, light wood influence

The VS from Clés des Ducs is distilled at Panjas, at the Chai de Bordeneuve, then aged for eighteen months in oak for a light, restrained wood influence. The nose opens on white fruits, with fresh, vanilla-tinged notes carried by the oak. The palate is supple and round. Presented in a 70 cl Basque-style bottle with a cardboard gift box, this is the ideal Armagnac for discovering the house, over ice or in a cocktail.
