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 (spirits). This 1973 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

The 1973 vintage was carefully distilled according to the traditional method, then aged extensively in Gascon oak barrels. The wood's porosity allows for gentle micro-oxygenation, softening the tannins and harmonizing the flavors. Contact with the oak gradually releases notes of vanilla, sweet spices, and caramel, while enriching the spirit's structure. The slow distillation and prolonged aging guarantee a round and silky texture, a remarkable aromatic balance, and a complexity that refines over time.

The Tasting

The Bas Armagnac Baron Gaston Legrand 1973 is captivating with a "rainbow" bouquet blending walnut, prune, fern, vanilla, and dried fig. On the palate, it reveals power and finesse with generous and harmonious roundness. The finish, long and elegant, releases spicy and fruity nuances that prolong the pleasure. This vintage perfectly complements smoked salmon, foie gras, flambéed meats and game, as well as aged cheeses like Roquefort, and also pairs well with berry or dried fruit desserts, offering a complete and refined tasting experience.
