Get to know: Domaine Laguille, Small Batch 20 Year Old Armagnac

Tasting Note

This is a rich and decadent Armagnac with lots of dried fruit and warm spice. You'll find golden raisin and fig alongside orange peel and fresh wood shavings on the nose. There's a softness to the palate with more fig and raisin as well as apricot dizzled in caramel and maple. There's a long finish too making a superb warming winter sipper.

It's made using 60% Ugni Blanc and 40% Baco grapes and blended from10 different barrels. Bottled in 2019.
