The Story

In the heart of Bas-Armagnac, Maison Baron Gaston Legrand, founded in Lannepax over a century ago, perpetuates the art of vintage eaux-de-vie. This 1971 vintage perfectly embodies the elegance of the Gascon terroir: a spirit patiently aged in oak barrels for several decades, where time has chiseled every nuance. Today, the Lhéraud family watches over this living heritage, a symbol of rare and timeless expertise.

The Vinification

Distilled at a low proof according to the traditional method, this Bas Armagnac has been slowly aged in Gascon oak barrels. The wood's porosity allows for controlled micro-oxygenation, promoting the softening of tannins and the development of remarkable aromatic complexity. The prolonged interactions between the eau-de-vie and the oak release woody, vanilla, and sweet spice notes, while preserving the freshness and finesse of the fruit. This careful aging lends the Armagnac 1971 a supple, velvety texture, perfectly balanced between power and elegance.

The Tasting

The Bas Armagnac Baron Gaston Legrand 1971 is captivating with its generous and complex nose: aromas of dried fruits, candied orange, walnut, and blond tobacco gradually unfold. On the palate, it is round, silky, and harmonious, with an intense aromatic richness that combines fruity, spicy, and lightly woody notes. The finish, long and persistent, reveals subtle nuances of honey, vanilla, and tobacco, testifying to the house's traditional expertise. It is a vintage that is both powerful and refined, offering a memorable tasting experience and exceptional aging potential.
