Additional Information
Aroma | Toffee, baked pear, almond and nutmeg |
---|---|
Distillation | Distillation is with an Armagnac type copper alembic still at around 60 - 62 degrees. The wines are distilled soon after the harvest in order to keep residual tiny lees in suspension |
Flavour | A spicy star anise with a sweet lemon tea in the middle mouth which fades to a long angelica crystalised fruit finish |
Grape Variety | Mainly Ugni Blanc but a proportion of Baco is also used |
Reduction and Strength | Gradual barrel reduction. |
Viticulture | The climate is soft and humid with sunny autumns and the soil is made of siliceous clay which is poor in lime, giving Bas Armagnacs a lightness and fragrance with subtle tastes |
