Reserve de la Comtesse 2015 75cl Armagnac The Vieux Collège estate is"Opaquely purple in colour, the nose is loaded with floral, cassis, boysenberry, earth, olive and tobacco notes. Powerful, graceful, sensuous, rich, fresh, it is unusually full bodied for a wine from this estate. It is pure, refined and offers silky, velvet textures." The estate was founded in 1689 by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan and the vineyard acquired its name a few years later when his daughter Thrse received it as part of her dowry on her marriage
