Eye: Solid amber with golden reflections.

Nose: A complex start full of orchard fruits, warm bread, nuts and florals. 

Palate: Exceptional depth, with oak, spices and bursts of fruit. What is surprising about this Armagnac is its balance and long, rich finish.

Duc Moisans Millésime 1988: a Powerful Vintage

The Armagnac Duc Moisans Millésime 1988 is a vintage Armagnac produced from grapes harvested in the autumn of 1988. It has been aged for decades in fine-grained oak barrels, allowing the eaux-de-vie to develop a deep color as well as complex aromas of oak and spice. This is a ‘très vieille’ reserve, which indicates it has been aged significantly longer than a traditional XO. 

Single harvest Armagnacs such as this represent beautiful snapshots of the past, giving a glimpse into the individual characteristics created by variations in rainfall, cloud cover and temperature. The late 80s saw a string of notable vintages, and while 1988 experienced some rain during harvest which affected the yield, the resulting wines turned out to be powerful, firm and wonderfully aromatic. 

Armagnac is a grape brandy produced in the Gascony region of south-west France, between the Adour and Garonne rivers by the foothills of the Pyrenees, as it has been since at least the 15th century. The terroir here is a mixture of sand and clay, spread across rolling hills drenched in sunshine during the long summer - resulting in dark, rich and rustic eaux-de-vie with concentrated aromas. Traditionally produced using wines made from Colombard, Baco Blanc, Folle Blanche and Ugni Blanc grapes, Armagnac is distilled in column stills rather than pot stills, and distilled only once. The resulting spirit is generally of a low ABV - as low as 52% - and is then aged in oak barrels before being bottled.

Presentation of the Bottle

The tall, classic bottle - reminiscent of styles popular during the 19th Century - features an elegant label with the vintage prominently displayed. Each bottle is individually numbered and comes sealed with red wax. Presented in a simple and elegant wooden box, this release makes an excellent gift for anyone who wants to celebrate a 1988 birthday or anniversary.

How to Serve

We recommend serving this elegant vintage Armagnac as a digestif - pair with desserts, coffee or even a cigar for the ultimate indulgence. Pour into a tulip glass, but allow the spirit to rest for up to a minute before taking a sip - this will allow the aromas to fully develop and express every delicate nuance of this single harvest.
