Baron de Sigognac Armagnac

The Baron de Sigognac brand is owned by the Guasch family who have been in Gascony since the 12th century. It’s based at the Chateau de Bordeneuve in the Bas Armagnac region and run by father and son team Jean-Claude and Thomas Guasch. They own 60 hectares of vines planted with ugni blanc and baco varieties. To distil the wine into eau-de-vie, they use a traditional Armagnac alembic - short column still that produces a flavourful low strength spirit. Baron de Sigognac is one of the most reliable names in the region producing everything from VS and VSOP bottlings and age statements as well as rare vintage releases. They also produce some single estate wines under the Chateau de Bordeneuve label.
