1988 Vintage Bas-Armagnac

Cloud & Clet Bas-Armagnac 1988 comes from the 1988 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 35 years ago, it has had time to build its depth.

It sits between the lively fruit of the recent vintages (apricot, spice, fresh fruit) and the depth of the oldest ones, where rancio, prune and cocoa emerge.

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 1988 eau-de-vie exactly as it is today in our cellars.

A 1988 Bas-Armagnac makes a meaningful gift for a birth, a wedding anniversary or a memory from 1988. To choose well, read our guide to giving a birth-year Armagnac, or browse our full vintage range, from 1941 to 2016.
