Bas Armagnac de Folle Blanche 5 years 40º
A brandy aged for four years in casks.
-Tasting commentary by cellarman Francis Miquel:
A golden yellow colour. The nose is very supple and subtle, expressing wood, vanilla and cocoa butter. A marked woody flavour, but noble and tempered by the original fruity character. The first sensation in the mouth is magnificently smooth, broad, spirited but never aggressive.
The delicate finale emphasises the recent marriage of the fruit and the woody structure. A remarkably lingering Armagnac, eloquent proof that a four-year-old brandy can already be very good. -
Bas Armagnac de Folle Blanche 12 years 45º
A brandy aged for twelve years in casks.
-Tasting commentary by cellarman Francis Miquel:
A magnificent golden brown colour. The nose breathes its finesse, whispers its femininity, accentuates its elegance and reveals an unusual expression of the grape.
In the mouth it is smooth and mellow. What elegance! The "rancio" taste is revealed with a rare intensity, the perfect expression of this variety. The aromas of crystallised stone-fruits and liquorice are the sign of a great Armagnac of which Gascony can be proud. -

Alcoholic Strength: 47%; Content: 700ml
Appellation: AOC Bas Armagnac
Vintage: 1990
Grape Variety: 100 % Folle BlancheTasting Notes:
Golden yellow with shades of brown. A fine, intense bouquet with a suggestion of sweetness, vanilla undertones, very fresh rancio and great purity. Aeration reveals its character, fringed with aromas of bread crust, dried orange peel and acacia honey. A generous mouth feel with traces of light fudge at entry. Mellow shades of subtle oak, dried fruit and fresh vanilla at mid-palate, leading to cocoa notes that linger at the bottom of the glass.
