How it is made

Château de Bordeneuve is one of the oldest estates in Armagnac.

This Bas-Armagnac is the fruit of a very old tradition. Exceptional soils yield a Bas-Armagnac aged in oak casks, at once soft on the palate and powerful in its aromas. This cask strength Armagnac is bottled at its natural degree.
