The Story
From the Lannepax terroir, the historical cradle of Armagnac, the Baron Gaston Legrand 1993 vintage embodies the timeless nobility of the Ténarèze region. Patiently aged in oak barrels, this Cask Strength (Brut de Fût) testifies to the ancestral expertise of the house founded over a century ago, now under the aegis of Maison Cognac Lhéraud.
The Vinification
Distilled according to traditional methods, this Armagnac has benefited from a long aging in oak barrels for over thirty years. The clay-limestone soil of Ténarèze allowed this eau-de-vie (spirit) to develop a solid structure and a powerful character. The Cask Strength (Brut de Fût) bottling preserves the concentration of aromas, revealing all the roundness and refinement of this vintage.
The Tasting
The Ténarèze Armagnac 1993, in the Cask Strength (Brut de Fût) version, is distinguished by its roundness and refinement. It reveals a powerful nose with complex aromas of spice butter, dried fruits, walnut, prune, and vanilla. On the palate, the attack is direct and balanced, supported by rich and elegant tannins. Subtle and aromatic, this eau-de-vie offers a harmonious, persistent, and delicately spicy finish.

France
La Gascogne, territoire historique du sud-ouest de la France s'étendant sur le Gers, les Landes et le Lot-et-Garonne, est le berceau de l'Armagnac, la plus ancienne eau-de-vie de France. Ce spiritueux d'exception, élaboré depuis le XIVe siècle, incarne l'âme et la tradition de cette région au caractère affirmé.
L'Armagnac se décline en trois zones d'appellation distinctes : le Bas-Armagnac, reconnu comme le plus noble des crus avec ses sols sablo-argileux (sables fauves) qui confèrent finesse et élégance ; la Ténarèze, dont les sols argilo-calcaires produisent des armagnacs puissants et structurés ; et le Haut-Armagnac, aux sols argilo-calcaires plus durs. Ces trois terroirs reposent sur le cône alluvial de Lannemezan, formé de sables, d'argiles et de galets issus de l'érosion des Pyrénées, créant des conditions idéales pour l'élaboration d'eaux-de-vie d'exception.
Distillé traditionnellement en alambic continu à bas degré et vieilli longuement en fûts de chêne gascon ou du Limousin, l'Armagnac développe une palette aromatique profonde et harmonieuse : prune, pruneau, fruits confits, noix, vanille, miel, épices douces, tabac et rancio noble. Terre de caractère et d'authenticité, la Gascogne perpétue un savoir-faire ancestral produisant des armagnacs expressifs, élégants et nuancés, véritables témoins du temps et de la tradition gasconne.
Jerome - Local Nose
A very balanced vintage with a lovely directness/frankness on the palate. The notes of walnut and dried fruits are intense. Ideal for marking a special date in an elegant way.
