BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC CARAFE 25 YEARS

  • Ageing Aged 25 years in oak casks
  • Cask Oak
  • Grape varieties 80% Ugni Blanc, 20% Baco

Drawn from a blend of 80% Ugni Blanc and 20% Baco, distilled at 56% and aged 25 years in oak casks, this decanter bears the house emblem, a stork, on its brass medallion sealed with a lead stamp. The nose is fresh and powerful, moving between white peach and Williams pear. The palate is broad and lively, developing cinnamon and vanilla before a long finish of roasted almonds. A handsome object to give as a gift, and an Armagnac of fine maturity.
