Baron De Lustrac 1888 Armagnac
Pre-Phylloxera
70cl / 40%
A bottle of Baron de Lustrac 1888 Armagnac, sealed with wax and presented in a wooden box. This was distilled in Lajuzan (Gers), in the heart of Bas-Armagnac in a pot still using predominantly Folle Blanche, the principal grape variety in the region before Phylloxera struck in 1893. This was matured in traditional 400 litre oak casks and transferred into glass demijohns in the 1960s.
Please note, when this bottle arrived at our offices the original wax seal had broken in transit. This has been authenticated and re-waxed by the UK distributor.
