An Hors d'Age Armagnac from Comte de Lauvia, made using Ugni Blanc, Baco Blanc and Folle Blanche grapes. As with their other expressions, Comte de Lauvia have 'double matured' this Armagnac in local black oak casks, initially in new wood for several months, before being moved to second or third fill casks for a further period of around 2 years. After this, they're moved to older casks, with this expression made up of vintages dating back to the early 1970s and spanning almost 30 years!
