Appearance
Baron de Lustrac Armagnac 1976 presents a deep amber colour with coppery highlights, hinting at its decades of maturation and complexity.
Nose
The nose is rich and multifaceted, revealing notes of dried plums and apricots, complemented by hints of vanilla, oak spice, and a touch of floral violet.
Palate
Velvety and smooth, with flavours of caramelised nuts, dried fruit, and subtle honey. Undertones of warm spice and a balanced structure lead to a long, satisfying finish, imparting depth and elegance.
Serving suggestions
Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate its complex bouquet. This vintage pairs well with fine cigars or rich desserts such as dark chocolate fondant, highlighting its layered profile.
About
Baron de Lustrac, a revered éleveur-négociant specialising in single-vintage Armagnacs, has built its reputation on strong partnerships with 20 selected growers across the Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze regions. The estate’s philosophy is grounded in five key values: terroir, character, authenticity, handcrafted quality, and discovery. These principles guide every step of production. After a long, slow ageing process at their native properties, the final blending and bottling take place at their cellars in the village of Nogaro. Each vintage embodies its own unique personality, reflecting the distinct terroir and craftsmanship that define the region's character.
