Description
Baron de Sigognac 1948 Vintage Armagnac
A remarkable spirit born just after the end of the Second World War, the 1948 Baron de Sigognac is a rare and dignified vintage from one of Armagnac’s most respected producers. Distilled from the finest Ugni Blanc and Baco grapes and aged for over seven decades in Gascon oak, this vintage captures history in a bottle, offering depth, elegance, and quiet power.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is exquisitely layered, with aromas of antique wood, candied orange peel, rancio, and dried figs unfolding into notes of pipe tobacco, toasted walnuts, and polished leather. The palate is intensely smooth and contemplative, revealing waves of spiced prune, cocoa nib, and black tea with a dry, nutty elegance. The finish is incredibly long, refined, and warming—lingering like a final note in a symphony.
Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy this 1948 Armagnac neat in a tulip or snifter glass at room temperature. Allow it to breathe for a few minutes before sipping to unlock its full aromatic complexity. Best savoured slowly—on its own or alongside dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, or a fine cigar—this is not just a drink but an experience, ideal for marking life’s most significant milestones.
