Chateau De Briat - "Hors D' Age" Bas Armagnac (750ml)

Armagnac distilled at Château de Briat in the Bas-Armagnac village of Mauvezin-d’Armagnac

A blend of 80% Baco and 20% Colombard single distilled on a classic, wood-fired alambic Armagnacais (short column still)

Aged 15 years in a combination of new and used oak in Château de Briat’s historic chai

The nose exhibits nutmeg on white peaches, fresh fennel bulb, and a nostalgic hit of grape Bubble Yum. The palate beguiles with a luscious, oily mouthfeel before snapping to attention with underripe plum, raspberry seed, and a remanent finish of chocolate-hazelnut wafer and sea salt.

43.7% ABV (ABV may vary lot to lot)

For those seeking an official introduction to what Armagnac alone can do, this is it. This elegant bottling is at once welcoming and provocative, invoking nuance and structure that will appeal to both Cognac and rye lovers but coalescing in a spirit that could only come from Gascony. Time to fall in love with the Bas-Armagnac.
