Janneau 12 Year Old Grand Armagnac

Produced by Maison Janneau in Condom, Janneau 12 Year Old Grand Armagnac is crafted using a combination of continuous column distillation and traditional double distillation in copper pot stills. Sourced from the Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze subregions, this expression is aged for a minimum of 12 years in French oak barrels from Gascony and Limousin. The aging process develops a balanced profile showcasing ripe stone fruits, toasted nuts, sweet vanilla, and subtle baking spices.

Food Pairing: Soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, roasted duck breast, apple tarte tatin, chocolate desserts, or prunes wrapped in bacon.

Tasting Notes: Warm golden amber with bright coppery highlights and smooth, medium-bodied viscosity along the glass.

Nose: Expressive and fruity, opening with dried fig, candied plum, and ripe apricot, followed by floral honey, soft vanilla, and gentle toasted oak.

Palate: Round and supple on the palate, featuring sweet yellow plum, honeyed orchard fruit, and light wood tannins before developing into warm cinnamon, toasted almond, and soft spice.

Finish: Medium-to-long, warm, and balanced with lingering notes of dried stone fruit, gentle wood spice, and soft oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, or served over a large ice cube.
