Armagnac

Armagnac

Armagnac, one of the world’s greatest brandies, made in the Gers (pronounced ‘Jair’) département in the south-west of France, formerly the province of Gascony, homeland of D’Artagnan. The Armagnac region is now strictly delimited into the regions of Tenaréze, Haut-Armagnac and Bas-Armagnac (the latter usually considered the best) and production is rigidly controlled. Ageing of Armagnacs takes place in local dark oak 400l barrels giving a particular richness and softening of the alcohol.

Armagnac Baron De Sigognac 10 Year Old

Armagnac Baron De Sigognac 10 Year Old

Lots of roundness in the mouth with floral, woody and spicy notes leading to a long and pleasing finish of grilled almonds and vanilla. Mild yet fiery at the same time like a gently toasted Arabica coffee. The aromas embody a wide range evoking floral followed by fruity notes yet overall dominated by the sensation of a perfect balance between fruit and spices.
