A top release from Comte de Lauvia, their Réserve Armagnac is a blend of eaux-de-vie created from Ugni Blanc, Baco Blanc and Folle Blance grapes matured initially in new casks made from Gascony oak before moving to older casks. Réserve is made up eaux-de-vie aged around 7-15 years.
Floral at first, with wafts of orange blossom and lilac. Soon enough, a good kick of oak and baking spices.
Cinnamon and nutmeg, with a touch of white pepper. Creamy vanilla and brioche. Apricot pastries develop later on.
The rounded floral notes return on the finish, joined by dried fruit and citrus peels.
