Baron Sigognac Millenium

Description

A minimum of 60 years in oak casks, then 40 years minimum in demi-johns !! In Armagnac, legend has it that, one day long ago, Baron de Sigognac took all the traditional clocks out of his cellars. Fascinated by the mystery surrounding the way Armagnac ages, he had some very strange timepieces fashioned. On these clocks, the face had ten divisions instead of twelve. The seconds had become years, the big hand moved only once a decade and the hour hand marked the centuries...Baron de Sigognac had found the core of the mystery that is Armagnac... The legend adds that, with time, Baron de Sigognac came to trust only his palate for telling the age of an Armagnac. The clocks were left unwound. Baron de Sigognac had, himself, become the memory of his Armagnacs. Original-Tasting-Notes: A magnificent amber colour with elegant mahongony glints.A subtle bouquet which opens with beautiful notes of dried and crystallised fruits and vanilla highlights. On the next level, we find roasted coffee aromas and deli-cate notes of rancio.Exceptionally round in the mouth, with fantastic balance and a long, elegant fi-nale worthy of its age.Simply marvellous; an Armagnac of class and elegance, ruffled by natural scents of old oak - truly an exceptional Armagnac!
