In 1973, the father of Thomas Guasch — the current cellar master at Domaine de Bordeneuve — fell in love with the Armagnacs produced at Château de Lacaze. So much so that he decided to buy the annual harvest. This version produced with Baco (60%) and Ugni Blanc (40%) grapes is from that harvest. After 18 months ageing in new oak casks, it was transferred to a less tannic, fine-grain red cask from the Vosges Forest. The result is this excellent fruity, spicy, mineral and herbal expression.

Nose : Serene, solar. The first nose is frank and generous, revealing spicy, mineral, fruity (grape, grapefruit, lime), rich (red fruit coulis, coconut cake) and herbal (lawn) fragrances. The second nose is beautifully unctuous.

Appearance : Ambrée.

Palate : Supple, persistent. The attack offers silky tannins that envelop juicy notes of melon and other livelier notes of tobacco on the mid-palate. The end of the palate reaffirms the character of a Bas-Armagnac that develops into more mineral, apricot and orange territories.

Overall : Full, warm. The bitter and mineral finish releases grape juice flavours. Nutmeg then brings warmth. The end of the finish guides us through spicy, fruity and herbal sequences.
