La Grande Josiane 95/100 – Orange Armagnac Liqueur
The Wine Enthusiast Top 100 International Spirits 2019 has listed La Grande Josiane, Orange Armagnac Liqueur, as Number 1 in its Liqueur section. Awarded 95/100 points, this score is the highest ever attributed to a French liqueur. It was described as “Armagnac plus orange liqueur equals a delightful sipper. The rich aroma bursts with orange oil and comforting vanilla. On the palate, nuanced cocoa and coffee wind into a cinnamon-warmed finish, plus just enough alcohol to cut the sweetness.” La Grande Josiane is one of our best sellers from Chateau de Bordeneuve who reported an “abundant and impeccable” harvest last year. Despite the unstable and often extreme weather that characterised 2019, the harvest surpassed all expectations. “Even our youngest Baco varietal vines out-performed their tender years, liberating a rich and unctuous juice – characteristics that are particularly prized for distilling the very best, long-ageing armagnacs. The future 2019 vintage is looking very promising indeed.” said the Castledine, Commercial Director.
