Domaine de Charron (23 yr) 1995 Bas - Armagnac 750ml

This 23-year-old Armagnac comes from the 1995 vintage and fills a 750ml bottle with spirit distilled and aged entirely within the Bas Armagnac appellation. The character of the liquid derives directly from its origin in the tawny soils of southwestern France. These vineyards occupy terrain created when ancient seas withdrew at the end of the tertiary era, depositing layers of sand and siliceous clay highlighted by iron oxides. That specific geological makeup channels drainage efficiently and forces vines to root deeply, capturing distinct mineral signals in each annual harvest.

The spirit remains in wooden cooperage for over two decades before bottling. Extended maturation gently reduces the alcohol intensity while allowing slow oxidation to develop structural depth. Bas Armagnac generally produces a lighter, more aromatic style than neighboring regions, and the lengthy aging period amplifies those qualities by emphasizing woody texture and concentrated botanical aromatics directly tied to the local climate.

Each container documents the precise growing conditions of 1995 alongside established barrel-aging protocols still practiced in the department. Consumers looking for a verifiable representation of regional terroir paired with multi-decade development will recognize the technical consistency inherent in this specification. Serve the contents at room temperature in a tulip glass to separate the primary harvest influence from the longer barrel interaction.
