clés des ducs Armagnac XO CARAFE

- Cask Oak casks, including a proportion of new oak casks towards the end of maturation

The XO Carafe from Clés des Ducs makes an immediate impression through its presentation: a hand-hammered decanter that sets off an Armagnac aged for a minimum of ten years, with a final period in new oak casks. The nose opens on a rich, spiced bouquet with layers of complex wood and an underlying note of honey, leading to a finish of fine length with candied dried fruits. Best enjoyed as a digestif, at room temperature, allowing it to breathe for a few minutes before serving. A bottle as handsome to give as it is to drink.
