1945 Vintage Bas-Armagnac

Cloud & Clet Bas-Armagnac 1945 comes from the 1945 harvest alone. Distilled from 100% Baco, the signature grape of Bas-Armagnac, it is never blended with another vintage: it carries the character of a single year, shaped by the weather, the harvest and its ageing in oak casks in our cellars at Mauléon-d’Armagnac. Harvested more than 80 years ago, it has had time to build its depth.

One of the oldest vintages in the range, it reveals notes of noble rancio, prune, blond tobacco, cocoa and mellow oak.

Every bottle is bottled to order to preserve the integrity of the spirit. Like all Armagnac, it no longer changes once in the bottle: what you receive is the 1945 eau-de-vie exactly as it is today in our cellars.

A 1945 Bas-Armagnac makes a meaningful gift for a birth, a wedding anniversary or a memory from 1945. To choose well, read our guide to giving a birth-year Armagnac, or browse our full vintage range, from 1941 to 2016.
