Aged fifteen years in oak barrels. Beautiful orange colour with reflections of mahogany. Intense nose of candied fruit on a background of vanilla, a sign of high quality. The taste is fresh, full and very smooth. The tannins are perfect, nice combination of wood and fruit.

Armagnac is made by distilling white wine to produce a clear spirit ("eau de vie"), which is then aged in oak barrels. The primary grape varieties used to produce Armagnac are Baco, Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard. After the grapes are harvested, typically in September, and pressed, the juice is fermented to produce a white wine with a low alcohol and high acidic content. The wine is subsequently distilled to make an "eau-de-vie," which is then placed in oak barrels where it is aged until it is bottled.
