Most houses grow grapes or make wine or distill wine or age brandy, but Baron De Lustrac, or more accurately the company Millésimes et Tradition, they mostly bottle up single-vineyard, single-grape, single-vintage armagnacs that have been stored on the property where they were distilled.\u0026amp;nbsp;Sometimes they do help with the on-site aging, performing tasks for the cask producers like aerating the brandy as is done in armagnac. The process seems weird but in armagnac small producers are often very, very small and may only make a barrel each year. Baron de Lustrac has made a few vintages that are vintage blends from different vineyards, but this seems like the exception to their usual single-single-single scheme. The property that I visited is really a bottling facility. Here they blend, filter, bring down to proof, and bottle by hand in a two-room garage. All the bottling is on-demand, so when someone calls in an order that's when they go to work. On site, there aren't a mass of barrels rolled in from the farms where it's made (armagnac barrels don't move around much), but they're transferred to plastic containers to bring to here. Some are very small containers, as a customer may have requested a single special bottle from their birth year, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-16T14:44:25-04:00","created_at":"2024-04-07T18:49:10-04:00","vendor":"ConciergeUK","type":"Armagnac","tags":["Proof_75 - 100 (37.5 - 50% ABV)","RK040424","Source_SipWhiskey0424","Type_Armagnac"],"price":1547500,"price_min":1547500,"price_max":1547500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44638394155146,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1973 Baron de Lustrac Vintage Armagnac","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1547500,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/48_e9d38652-5ee5-4045-9bf1-2a500ae9e64f.png?v=1712530211"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/48_e9d38652-5ee5-4045-9bf1-2a500ae9e64f.png?v=1712530211","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1973 Baron de Lustrac Vintage Armagnac at CaskCartel.com","id":26669360382090,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.609,"height":373,"width":227,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/48_e9d38652-5ee5-4045-9bf1-2a500ae9e64f.png?v=1712530211"},"aspect_ratio":0.609,"height":373,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/48_e9d38652-5ee5-4045-9bf1-2a500ae9e64f.png?v=1712530211","width":227}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eArmagnac: 1973 Baron de Lustrac Vintage Armagnac\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaron de Lustrac work with several producers of Armagnac is the Bas-Armagnac region to source their famous vintage dated bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL ORDERS PLACED ARE GUARANTEED\u003c\/strong\u003e and WILL NOT be cancelled like with other retailers.
