The grapes are the Gascon classics: Folle Blanche for florality, Ugni Blanc for freshness, and the hybrid Baco 22A for its rounder, plummier weight. Unlike Cognac, Armagnac is distilled once through a continuous alambic armagnacais at low strength, so more of the raw material survives into the spirit, and it is then aged in local black oak. Half Baco and half Ugni Blanc gives a brandy with weight on one side and freshness on the other, and as a single-harvest bottling it reflects one season rather than a house style assembled across many. At 48% it has clearly been reduced very little, if at all, from the strength the cask had reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBest taken neat after a meal, in a small glass and with a few drops of water if wanted; serve at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
