The French region of Armagnac has given its name to this distinctive brandy made from the same grapes as cognac & undergoing the same ageing in oak barrels, but with column still distillation. Armagnac has been making brandy for about 200 years longer than Cognac & is one of only three officially demarcated brandy regions in Europe. Armagnac is double distilled, rather than triple distilled, which gives it more flavour than cognac. The production quantity of armagnac is significantly lower than that of the Cognac region: for every six bottles of armagnac sold around the world there are one hundred bottles of cognac sold. A three star armagnac is a mix of several armagnacs that have been aged for at least two years in wood. VSOP is aged for at least five years, & XO for at least six. ...

The VS consists of eaux-de-vie which have aged for at least 3 years after distillation. Straw yellow with a hint of golden yellow colour. The bouquet is intense, open & clean, round. This blend is dominated by fruity & flowery notes. A slightly woody & vanilla note specific to Armagnac eaux-de-vie aged in oak barrels is also present. ...

A blend of several Armagnac that have been aged for at least five years in wood. With aromas of fresh fruit, spices & oak wood, this VSOP possesses the complexity & richness of an aged Armagnac eau-de-vie.

This is Chateau Clinets youngest sibling, named after the estates owner, Ronan Laborde; & with vineyards just outside Pomerol. It undoubtedly delivers the quality we have come to associate with this great appellation though, just without the price tag. Drinking now. Ronan By Clinet is made in the same way, in the same style, at the same place, by the same people as the Grand Vin which scores 97-100 from Parker in this great vintage. 2009 really suits this lesser wine as the lush, rich fruit concentration & good acidity structure underpin the wine
- drink now or hold for 3-5 years.. . this wine is unmissable... the most extraordinary value red wine under the sun.

A wine to ward off evil spirits or an icy winter. Consisting mainly of press wine, the last drops pressed from the skins after fermentation this blend is concentrated in the extreme. While the spiciness of French Oak lends an air of sophistication, this is not a wine that will be revered for its subtlety. The Quentin Tarantino remake of Sideways. ...
