Baron De Sigognac 1966 Vintage Armagnac

A rare and historic expression from one of Gascony’s oldest Armagnac houses, with roots reaching back to the 12th century. Distilled at Chateau de Bordeneuve in Bas‑Armagnac. This vintage has spent decades maturing slowly in French oak, developing remarkable depth, finesse and character.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Long ageing has shaped this spirit into a beautifully complex expression.
• Nose: The nose opens with dried fruits, toasted oak and warm spice, lifted by subtle vanilla.
• Palate: The palate is full‑bodied yet refined, revealing silky layers of figs, raisins and delicate spice.
• Finish: The finish is long, elegant and lingering, with gentle notes of coffee, caramel and soft oak that speak to its decades of maturation.
