Fermentation: juice fermented to base wine called rebate. Rebate is distilled once to low wine. Low wine is distilled (second distillation) where heart is kept separate.
Maturation: heart placed in French Oak barrels for 5 years. After 5 years taken from barrel and alcohol broken down to 38%.
Bottled: January 2009.
Tasting note:
The brandy is a typical Armagnac style. Dried apricots and pear flavours on the nose, sweet and soft mouth feel with almost no burning sensation on the finish. Lovely.
Food:
Creamy desserts, rich dark chocolate, mature cheeses and dried fruit compote.
