Description
This 1904 Bas-Armagnac by Maison Samalens is a true gem of time. Preserved under ideal conditions for over a century, it embodies the elegance and depth of Gascony’s greatest vintages.

Blend
Predominantly Baco and Folle Blanche – the classic, prestigious pairing of Bas-Armagnac.
Tasting Notes
• Appearance: Deep mahogany with golden and brick-red highlights
• Nose: Profound and distinguished, with aromas of walnut, blond tobacco, prune, noble rancio, cedar, and antique wax
• Palate: Exceptionally smooth and mellow. Gentle attack, then builds in intensity with notes of stewed fruits, sweet spices, bitter cocoa, and aged wood. Long, serene, and majestic finish
Cellaring Potential
At its peak. Ready to enjoy now, but will continue to evolve gently in bottle.
Food & Armagnac Pairings
Best enjoyed on its own for contemplative sipping, or with a refined cigar. Also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate ganache or aged blue cheese.
