Maison Gelas Bas Armagnac 25 yr 46.4% 750ml France
| Description: | History,. Maison Gelas Armagnac was established in 1865 and had been at its present location in Vic Fezansac ever since. The family firm is now run by the engaging Philippe Gelas, representing the 4th generation at the helm. Gelas has abandoned the vague, old references such as Rserve or Hors dAge and Cognac terms such as Vsop, replacing them with more precise statements of age and varietal. In addition to an essential 3 year-old Selection and very mellow 8 year-old Bas Armagnac, Gelas offers three extraordinary 100% single varietal Bas Armagnacs: 18 year-old Folle Blanche, 25 year-old Ugni Blanc and 50 year-old Baco. In a nod to tradition, Maison Gelas offers an impressive range of vintage Armagnac, the oldest dating back to 1897. The family owns vineyards but only for the production of still wine. Gelas prefers to buy young Armagnac or grapes for distillation and use his skill and knowhow at ageing and blending, developed and handed down through 4 generations. Tasting Notes,. Deep amber color; smoky, toasted aromas with a hint of orange peel, fig and licorice. Sweet, smooth expression of wood, dried fruits, and mature spirits. |
