{"product_id":"armagnac-1964","title":"Armagnac 1964","description":"\u003ch4\u003eOrigin and production\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced from the 1964 harvest, this vintage Armagnac was sourced by Baron de Lustrac from its network of traditional estates in Gascony. The house selects across Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze, two areas whose contrasting soils can bring either fine fragrance or firmer, more structured eaux-de-vie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter distillation, the spirit matured slowly in oak at its native property before being chosen for the Baron de Lustrac collection and prepared for bottling in Nogaro. Decades of cask development have softened the alcohol and drawn fruit, spice and wood into a mature whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich amber-brown with copper-gold flashes and slow, even legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune and dried fig are layered with violet, vanilla, toasted almond and a restrained note of old oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eVelvety and rounded, opening with caramelised nuts and honey before cinnamon, dried fruit and gentle tobacco appear. The structure remains composed and warming, with a lingering finish of walnut and sweet spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest served neat in a small tulip glass, with time and air rather than added heat. Pair with a dark chocolate and hazelnut tart, a few Medjool dates, or mature Comté, or enjoy it unaccompanied as a slow digestif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBackground story\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaron de Lustrac specialises in single-vintage Armagnac, working with selected growers rather than presenting every year through a standard house blend. This approach allows variations in harvest, grape and estate character to remain visible in the finished spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1964 is both a mature Gascon eau-de-vie and a natural marker for a birthday or anniversary year. It is supplied in a cardboard sleeve, preserving the presentation detail included with this bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baron de Lustrac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51883974197630,"sku":"LUSTRAC64","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/baron-de-lustrac-armagnac-1964-0-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791378879","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/armagnac-1964","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
