Often considered the preferred grape variety for aging, here we find the raw Baco Armagnac, without any artifice, identical to how it emerges from the still.
Tasting Note:
In this intense nose, we perceive both fruity aromas (mirabelle, white peach, and fresh grape) and herbal aromas (fennel, mint). A very pleasant nose, almost crisp. On the palate, this blanche is smooth, with a very dry profile. The intensity is pronounced with a voluminous mouthfeel. Spicy notes of chili and pepper extend the pleasure. Certainly ideal for cocktails like Margarita and mojito, paired with vegetal aromatic profiles.
