Janneau 18 Year Old Grand Armagnac

Produced by Maison Janneau in Condom, Janneau 18 Year Old Grand Armagnac is a double-distilled expression crafted exclusively in copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of 18 years in toasted French oak barrels from Gascony. Sourced from selected vineyards in the Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze subregions, this small-batch reserve highlights remarkable structure, balancing ripe orchard fruits, warm vanilla, subtle leather, and polished oak spice.

Food Pairing: Aged cheeses like Roquefort or vintage Gouda, roasted duck breast, apple tarte tatin, dark chocolate tarts, or prunes wrapped in bacon.

Tasting Notes: Rich amber with warm copper highlights and medium-to-heavy viscosity along the glass.

Nose: Expressive and rich, opening with candied plum, dried fig, and stewed apricot, followed by floral honey, light vanilla, polished oak, and subtle toasted almond.

Palate: Smooth, full-bodied, and elegant on the palate, featuring sweet yellow plum, honeyed stone fruit, and light wood tannins upfront before evolving into subtle liquorice, warm nutmeg, and gentle cinnamon.

Finish: Long, warm, and refined with lingering notes of dried fruit, delicate wood spice, and soft oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, allowing it to rest for a few minutes before sipping.
