FAQs For Baron De Lustrac Bas Armagnac 1997 Vintage

How is this spirit made?

Jose Barbe and Ina Bornemann personally curate each vintage, selecting eaux‑de‑vie for texture, depth and terroir expression. The 1997 spirit was chosen for its luxurious viscosity and late‑90s aromatic profile.

Aged with precision in traditional Gascon cellars, the spirit develops a fully fledged mouthfeel and mature complexity over decades. The cellar conditions protect integrity while encouraging slow, controlled evolution. Resulting in a vintage that is balanced, expressive and architecturally rich.

What does "single vintage" mean on an Armagnac?

It means the Armagnac comes from a single year's distillation rather than being a blend of spirits from different vintages. The year therefore represents an important part of the identity of the bottle.

Is this a genuine 1997 Vintage Armagnac?

Yes. Baron de Lustrac specialises in single-vintage Armagnacs, with each vintage representing the character of a specific year. This expression comes from the 1997 vintage. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.

How should I drink old Armagnac?

Older Armagnac is best enjoyed slowly and neat, allowing its aromas and flavours to develop naturally in the glass. There is generally no need to add ice or mixers to a mature vintage expression.
