BARON DE SIGOGNAC ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1914

• Cask oak
• Grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Baco

In the autumn of 1914, the Gascon harvest often took place without the men who had left for the front: women, elders and children brought in the crop. The eau-de-vie in this bottle comes from that very year. It was aged in oak casks before entering the collection at Château de Bordeneuve, where each Baron de Sigognac vintage is kept separately. In 2026, it stands at one hundred and twelve years since the harvest. Bottled to order, with its date inscribed on the back label, it is bottled at 40% vol. and arrives in a wooden box. A rare piece for a collector or a lover of history.

The eau-de-vie from that vintage, preserved for over a century, has taken on with time a topaz colour with copper highlights and aromas of dried fruits, patient witnesses to a year in which History weighed heavily on the vine.
