Produced by Maison Sempé — one of the historic houses of Bas-Armagnac — this expression departs from typical blends by selecting and bottling a single barrel. The Armagnac was distilled from a blend of Baco, Ugni Blanc and Colombard, then aged in local oak and bottled without dilution to preserve intensity and nuance. Its uniqueness lies in the unblended character and the elevated ABV that delivers both depth and terroir expression, appealing to premium portfolios and collectors seeking distinct, small-batch releases.
