It offers a nose with complex flavours, which marries animal notes like leather, floral flavours like eucalyptus and fruity flavours like dry fig and blond tobacco.

After warming it up, we can smell fur and praline flavours.

The mouth effect is frank, the middle of the mouth is powerful with dry fruits aromas, (dry prune, grape, orange bark, almond).

The final touch gives white chocolate  flavours.

 “Amber color, a distinguished nose which gives some nice notes of crystallized fruits and rancio.
The mouth is subtle and smooth with a slight taste of wood.”

 Few rancio at the end of mouth

This Bas Armagnac comes from a blend of two cepages, the Ugni Blanc and Baco.
Its fawn colored robe with some red copper gives some rancio flavors reflecting its long stay in barrels in a bouquet of wooden touches.(sandal wood, vanilla, grilled touches) spicy and fruity (banana).The mouth is soft and mellow but this eau de vie has kept the verbosity of the baco cepage.
It is perfect with a maroon cake with an Arabica sauce! The richness of maroon and the creamy touch of the dessert is tempered by the freshness of the ice cream. The coffee sauce is an echo to the grilled touches.
                                                     The osmosis is total!

A light amber color, melted bouquet without fire on crystallized fruity of cooked apricot with dried flowers flavor.
Creamy and smooth, it gives spicy notes. It is an Armagnac in the perfect style of the Chateau Maniban.

Its topaz color is superb. Spurting out of the glass, the bouquet opens out on a complex melted range, and a superb violet taste.
Without excess of heat, it affirms its richness on your palate and does “la queue de Paon” giving all of the poesy of its age. A Real nectar…
