Let’s talk about Armagnac 50 ans "Lion's Choice" - 70cl Cofanetto Legno - Rounagle

More questions

The "Lion's Choice" Armagnac from Rounagle represents an extraordinary specimen in the world of French spirits, enclosed in an elegant wooden box that emphasizes its value and refinement. This distilled spirit, aged for 50 years, represents the ultimate expression of tradition and artisanal mastery in Armagnac production.

Featuring a deep amber color with mahogany reflections, the "Lion's Choice" Armagnac offers a complex and enveloping bouquet to the nose. There are notes of dried plum, cocoa, vanilla, and a subtle hint of spices such as nutmeg, derived from the extended maturation period in oak barrels. Over time, nuances of leather and tobacco also emerge, further enriching the aromatic profile.

On the palate, it reveals itself to be extremely balanced with a velvety texture that gently envelops the palate. Flavors of ripe fruit blend with touches of dark chocolate and caramel, followed by a light spiciness that invigorates the tasting, leading to a long and persistently harmonious finish.

The fifty-year aging process endows this Armagnac with a complexity and intensity that make it ideal to be savored neat, perhaps as a reflective drink after an elegant dinner or on special occasions. Its presentation in a wooden box also makes it a precious gift for lovers of fine spirits and exceptionally matured Armagnac.

The "Lion's Choice" is not just an Armagnac, but a journey through time and the history of French distillation, offering an unforgettable sensory experience.

The story
Vines on the site have been cultivated for centuries, but Domaine Rounagle was started at the end of 2015 with the aim of practicing organic farming and producing Armagnac, wine and whisky reflecting the local territory. Barley for whisky was sown from 2016 and the first distillation took place in 2017.
Ageing
Aging in oak barrels for Armagnac eau-de-vie; for the whisky in Gascon oak barrels of 400 litres filled to 250 litres to favour oxygen exchange and aromatic development. Some vintages are aged for decades.
