Tasting Notes

•    Nose: Intense bouquet featuring fine aromas of orange peel, roasted and grilled bread, and cinnamon.
•    Palate: Rich notes of prune, vanilla, and cocoa with a soft, velvety mouthfeel.
•    Finish: A long, harmonious, and seductive complexity lingering on the tongue.

Serving and Cocktail Suggestions

•    Neat: Serve at room temperature in a traditional tulip or balloon glass to let the deep aromas open up fully.
•    Cocktails: While extra old armagnacs are best appreciated neat, rich aged profiles can elevate sophisticated dark spirit twists like an upscale old fashioned or a customized sazerac-style concoction.

Food Pairings

•    Cheeses: Excellent when matched with pungent washed-rind selections such as Pont l'Évêque or Livarot.
•    Desserts: Pairs wonderfully with classic apple tarte Tatin, chocolate cake, or a warm chocolate soufflé.
