Saint Vivant VSOP Armagnac

Produced by Saint Vivant, Saint Vivant VSOP is a traditional Armagnac presented in its signature slanted-neck bottle. Sourced from selected vineyards across the Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze subregions, this expression is crafted using single-column alambic distillation and aged for a minimum of 4 years in toasted French oak barrels. The aging process highlights balanced notes of candied plum, dried fruits, warm oak, and delicate baking spices.

Food Pairing: Soft cheeses like Camembert or Brie, 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 aromatic, opening with candied plum, dried apricot, and dark honey, followed by gentle vanilla, toasted oak, and soft baking spices.

Palate: Smooth and well-rounded on the palate, featuring sweet stone fruit nectar, ripe fig, and light wood tannins before developing into warm nutmeg and delicate cinnamon.

Finish: Medium-length, warm, and balanced with lingering notes of dried fruit, gentle oak, and subtle spice.

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