Domaine de Baraillon Bas Armagnac 2007/2023 (70cl, 47%)

Domaine de Baraillon Bas Armagnac 2007/2023 is a vintage Armagnac distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2023 at 47% in a 70cl bottle with a wooden box. The grape distillate matured for more than 15 years in the family estate's cellars. Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco are grown on sandy-clay soils, and the spirit is distilled to about 52% before ageing in regional oak casks. The nose shows flowers, white wine, raisins and apricots, with light tobacco and a hint of pine needles. The palate brings intense light fruit, heather honey and rooibos tea, with cloves and oak. The long finish recalls stewed green apples and chamomile, with spicy oak, baking spices and liquorice.
