Armagnac with a beautiful mahogany color, bright and clear. A nose marked by freshness with a pretty undergrowth and spicy nuances, even some iodized marine notes.

Baco is a hybrid grape variety, discovered by the teacher François Baco, a nurseryman in the Landes and passionate about viticulture. The genetic origin is a crossing of the Folle Blanche and Noah grape varieties carried out in 1898 after the phylloxera crisis. It is also known under the names Baco 22A, Maurice-baco and Piquepoul de pays.
