Baron de Sigognac Armagnac 60 Year Old

  • Ageing Minimum 60 years in cask
  • Cask Limousin forest oak
  • Grape varieties Ugni Blanc or Baco
  • Terroir tawny sands
  • Distillation continuous Armagnac-type still

A minimum of sixty years in Limousin oak casks: this Baron de Sigognac Armagnac is for those who appreciate long ageing. Coming from tawny sand soils and distilled in a continuous Armagnac-type still, it unfolds a nose of violet and raspberry, a supple palate and a finish of wild berries with pleasant oak. The 70 cl Cognac-style bottle suits a 60th birthday, a wedding or a gift to be kept for a long time. The Baron, so the legend goes, judged the age of an Armagnac by his palate alone.
