Baron De Sigognac 1986 Vintage Armagnac 70cl

Baron De Sigognac 1986 Vintage Armagnac

This Armagnac is a rare, estate-produced spirit from Bas-Armagnac, crafted under full control of the Guasch family. With vineyards, distillation and ageing all managed in-house, the house maintains a highly traditional approach that prioritises authenticity and long-term cellar development.

This 1986 vintage has matured slowly in Gascon oak for decades, developing a layered and nuanced profile. It reflects both the character of the vintage year and the depth that only extended ageing can achieve, making it a compelling choice for collectors of fine Armagnac.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Rich amber with polished copper tones, indicating extended oxidative ageing.
• Nose: Complex and mature, showing dried apricot, fig and orange zest, layered with subtle spice, leather and polished oak.
• Palate: Silky and structured, with flavours of dried fruit, toffee and gentle spice. The oak is fully integrated, supporting a rounded and harmonious profile.
• Finish: Long, warming and elegant, with lingering notes of fruit, spice and mature wood character.
