Description
Crafted in 1906 by the prestigious Maison Gélas, this old Armagnac is a masterpiece of patience and craftsmanship. Over a century old, it has matured slowly in Gascon black oak casks, developing extraordinary complexity, depth, and timeless elegance. A rare spirit, reserved for truly exceptional moments.
Blend
Baco and Ugni Blanc – a classic Bas-Armagnac blend, offering structure, finesse, and excellent long-aging potential.
Tasting Notes
• Appearance: Deep amber with mahogany and copper highlights
• Nose: Exceptionally expressive, with dried fig, date, noble rancio, aged wood, blond tobacco, wax, gentle spices, and dark chocolate
• Palate: Broad and silky, beautifully balanced. Flavors of prune, brown caramel, gingerbread, mocha, vanilla, and toasted hazelnut. The finish is endless, deep, and refined
Cellaring Potential
At its peak, though it can continue to rest in proper cellar conditions. A precious spirit to be enjoyed at its full expression.
Food & Armagnac Pairings
Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass. Sublime with a fine cigar, grand cru dark chocolate dessert, or a well-aged blue cheese.
