The Story
From the Lannepax terroir, the historical cradle of Armagnac, the Baron Gaston Legrand 1979 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 the rules of the art, this Armagnac has aged for over four decades in oak barrels in the heart of the traditional cellars. The clay-limestone soils of Ténarèze lend this vintage an exceptional structure and aging capacity. The Cask Strength (Brut de Fût) aging allows the eau-de-vie (spirit) to achieve a rare complexity, while retaining an impressive freshness.
The Tasting
The Ténarèze Armagnac 1979, presented as Cask Strength (Brut de Fût), is a vintage of great nobility. The nose is powerful and deep, revealing aromas of spice butter and dried fruits. On the palate, the attack is direct and balanced, supported by rich and well-integrated tannins. Subtle, elegant, and highly aromatic, this eau-de-vie exhibits exceptional length and finishes with a fine spicy touch, offering a tasting experience full of balance and refinement.
Italie
La Toscane est la troisième région la plus plantée d'Italie (derrière la Sicile et les Pouilles) mais elle est huitième en termes de production, ce qui reflète à la fois la pauvreté du sol toscan et les efforts délibérés pour limiter les rendements et augmenter la qualité du vin. Après le Piémont et la Vénétie, la Toscane produit le troisième plus grand volume de vins DOC/DOCG. Plus de 80 % de la production de la région est constituée de vins rouges, le Sangiovese étant le cépage le plus répandu en Toscane. Le Chianti, le Chianti Classico, le Brunello di Montalcino, le Vino Nobile di Montepulciano et le Super Tuscan sont les vins les plus connus de la Toscane. Le Trebbiano est le principal cépage blanc de la région.
Anne Sarine - Local Nose
A great vintage for a birthday gift! Very fine despite its power. The length on the palate is remarkable; you can feel the work of time.
