Description

The Folle Blanch variety is the historical grape variety of Armagnac. It has long been the only one planted in Gascony (before the phylloxera crisis) and was then called the Piquepoult of the country. It is known for producing very fine and delicate armagnacs.

Tasting notes

The intensity of the nose is very distinct : very fruity (grapefruit, plum, fresh grape) and spicy (Sichuan pepper). One could use it in a version of a dry martini as a replacement for gin.
