Domaine d' Espérance Blanche De Armagnac

The Blanche d’Espérance won the Silver Medal in Paris in 2009.The Blanche Armagnac is a new AOC: it is an armagnac just distilled which has not been poured in oak barrels. At Domaine d’Espérance, it is a blend of Folle Blanche and Baco. It is distilled at a stronger proof and then put down to 43 %. We drink it as a fruit eau de vie (such as the Alsacian ones) or chilled like a vodka. It matches wonderfully smoked salmons, eels.
