Baron de Lustrac 1970 Domaine de Courros 100% Folle Blanche Bas Armagnac
- $105
Zesty scents of pine needle, paraffin, raisins and ripe grapes. Palate entry is lush, bittersweet and caramel-like; at midpalate, the flavor goes decadently chewy, with tastes of vanilla extract, sweet old oak, marzipan, honey and dark toffee. Aftertaste is long, luxuriously sweet and thick.

Domaine du Chateau a Laree, Baron de Lustrac 1995
- $97
Bright, light and citrusy, this is made from 100% Ugni Blanc. The color is light amber, with bright golden highlights, and the flavor tends toward lemon cream, with notes of nutmeg and spicy cinnamon on the finish. Consider a savory pairing, such as blue cheese or nuts.

Baron de Lustrac 1973 Domaine de Courros 100% Folle Blanche Bas Armagnac
- $90
Aromas of baked apple, sweet oak, vanilla, honey, green melon, nectarine and a trace of spice. On the palate, it’s medium-rich, intensely honeyed, and fruity. The deep, multilayered midpalate is succulently sweet and woody. Finishes caramel-sweet, lush and full-bodied, with just a hint of spirity heat.

Baron de Lustrac 1980 Domaine de la Croix Pelanne 100% Bacco Bas Armagnac

Its tea leaf/toasty aroma is so emblematic of bacco, with scents of honey wheat toast, rubber pencil eraser and butterscotch. Palate is scrumptious, sweet, concentrated and intensely caramel-like; with traces of asparagus and green leaf vegetable. Finish is bittersweet, eggy and creamy.

Domaine de la Croix Pelanne, Baron de Lustrac 1980
- $140
Made with 100% Baco, this vintage Armagnac has a nut-brown color and maple-sugar aroma. Rounded sarsaparilla and vanilla flavors finish with an almost effervescent sensation on the tongue, along with a tannic oaky pucker.

Domaine de Courros a Salles Baron du Lustrac 1986
- Online Exclusive
- $106
A 1986 vintage made from only Folle Blanche—is it possible that it was allowed to age too long? The effect is one of fleeing sweetness, overwhelmed by an oaky, tannic feel, even lingering into the vanilla-tinged finish.

Baron du Lustrac 1972 Domaine de Lacaze Cepage Bacco, Bas Armagnac
- $130
The initial aroma shows round, biscuity and mature praline-like notes that are simultaneously nutty and sweet; aeration allows the bouquet to focus on the bittersweet candied almond core aroma. Palate entry is firm, bittersweet and nicely viscous; midpalate the candied almond dominates to the point of exclusion. Concludes bittersweet and nutty.
