The Story

At 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 1980 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 low proof according to the traditional method, this Bas Armagnac has aged for a long time in Gascon oak barrels. The natural micro-oxygenation of the wood softens the tannins and encourages the development of complex aromas of vanilla, honey, candied fruits, and sweet spices. The sandy-clay soils of the terroir, rich in iron oxides, bring finesse, structure, and balance to the eau-de-vie. This prolonged aging illustrates the harmony between power and subtlety, the signature of Baron Gaston Legrand vintages.

The Tasting

The Bas Armagnac Baron Gaston Legrand 1980 offers a round and generous palate, perfectly balanced between power and finesse. The nose reveals aromas of walnut, prune, fern, and vanilla, supported by a delicate and refined woodiness. Upon aeration, notes of candied fruits and noble rancio appear, revealing the depth and complexity of this vintage. The long and harmonious finish illustrates the house's traditional expertise, making this vintage an exceptional spirit to be enjoyed neat or given for a milestone event.
