For the CLASSIC, DECANTER and VINTAGE collections, the picture representing the bottles will have one difference once delivered to the client, this concerns the year of the armagnac depending on your choice. It is represented by a sticker above the main label.
Once bottled, armagnac is a stable spirit and will not really age. It should be stored upright, away from direct sunlight, avoid dry places like above heater as the cork may dry.
To best appreciate the extent of its complexity, it can be served 15 minutes before tasting, so that it has some time to ‘breathe’ to develop and your nose can follow the evolution of flavors. You may serve the glasses before desert, by the time you finish the glasses will be tempered. To best enjoy Armagnac, some people prefer a tapered glass, or tulip-shaped, which help concentrate the flavors, while others prefer a snifter, it’s up to you.
