Château de Léberon Vin Muté à l’Armagnac

€31.91

A vin muté a l’Armagnac is the result of adding Armagnac to freshly pressed fruit must. In this way, fermentation is not possible, and a product is obtained that is both fruity and spirited. In the present case, the Chateau de Leberon uses only Colombard grape must, and the result is aged in barrels in a solera that began in 1987.

About Château de Léberon

The Chateau de Léberon is a historic property dating back to the 13th century. It is at this time, during the Hundred Years War, that it gained its reputation as a fortress. The property underwent modifications during the Renaissance but had its great milestone when the Lord of Léberon, Louis XIV’s aide-de-camp, used his influence to promote products at the Court of Versailles.

The current property dates from 1939 when Osmin Rozès bought the property, and it is since then that the Rozès Family has been in charge of the production and marketing of Armagnacs.

For the elaboration of the distillates, fruity wines from Ugni Blanc and Colombard are used. In the elaboration, neither yeast nor sulfur is added, and the traditional (continuous) distillation is used that allows preserving the aromas, with a generous result in body and texture. With perfect ageing conditions thanks to the thick walls of the property, the distillate matures in 420-litre barrels, made with oak wood from the property.
