The Story
From the Lannepax terroir, the historical cradle of Armagnac, the Baron Gaston Legrand 1987 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 low-proof methods, this Armagnac has aged for nearly forty years in oak barrels. The clay-limestone soils of Ténarèze are essential for developing its structure and power. The Cask Strength (Brut de Fût) aging allowed its beautiful complexity to be fully expressed, while retaining the characteristic elegance and balance of great aging Armagnacs.
The Tasting
The Ténarèze Armagnac 1987 Cask Strength (Brut de Fût) expresses a beautiful complexity after long aging. Its nose is powerful and inviting, revealing notes of spice butter and dried fruits. On the palate, the attack is direct and perfectly balanced, supported by rich and elegant tannins. Harmonious and aromatic, it offers a long and refined finish, marked by a subtle spicy touch, proof of its high quality.
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.
