La Fontaine de Coincy 1996 Bas-Armagnac (700ml)

La Fontaine de Coincy is a small, family-owned and run distillery in Bas-Armagnac. Currently managed by the gregarious Henri-Bruno de Coincy, the de Coincy family have made outstanding Armagnac in the region for an astounding 700+ years. After making his transition from corporate banking back into the family spirits business, one of Henri’s first and most impressive achievements was to reunite more than 30 separate plots of land that had been sold off over the previous generations when cash was short. These combined plots have now been amalgamated to re-form the family’s original Domaine de Toujun estate in its entirety. The property now produces a still white wine as well as all the grapes for the de Coincy line-up of Armagnac. Exceedingly rare, and almost exclusively sold to 3 star Michelin restaurants in France, this remains one of the rarest Armagnacs you can buy.
