{"product_id":"prince-darignac-vs-armagnac-700ml-40-france","title":"Prince dArignac VS Armagnac 700ml 40% (France)","description":"\u003cp\u003e🥃 Prince dArignac VS Armagnac is a French Armagnac presented in a 700 ml bottle at 40% ABV, accompanied by its tall brown gift tube. This is the Very Special expression, recognisable by the gold VS lettering on both bottle and packaging. Armagnac is a grape-based brandy with its own protected geographical origin in Gascony, southwest France, and should not be confused with Cognac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🍇 The spirit begins with wine distilled into eau-de-vie and matured in oak. VS identifies a youthful Armagnac style, rather than a vintage or a precise age statement. The bottling operator is GCF in Petersbach, France. The exact grape proportions and detailed distillation method are not specified for this expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e✨ A straw-yellow colour with golden reflections introduces floral notes reminiscent of violets. Plum and fresh pear add a fruit-led character. The palate combines suppleness, elegance and fine structure, followed by subtle vanilla and menthol-like impressions. These are sensory comparisons, not an ingredient list or a claim that fruit, flowers or mint have been added to the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🏅 Prince dArignac VS Armagnac expression received an IWSC Silver medal in 2017, with the competition listing 40% ABV. Separately, Wine Enthusiast rated the 700 ml, 40% expression 92 points and Best Buy in its December 2025 issue. The latter is an editorial tasting assessment rather than a competition medal. Its review describes oak, dried fruit and warming spice, adding another perspective to this fruit-led style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🍐 Try a small measure of Prince dArignac VS Armagnac neat in a tulip-shaped glass, over a little ice, or as the brandy element in a cocktail. A pear tart or a light fruit dessert can be considered as pairing suggestions. Keep the bottle upright and tightly closed, away from heat and direct sunlight. The cylindrical tube is part of this product’s presentation and accompanies the bottle; it does not indicate a different blend or a separate edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📋 Key Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🥃 Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Armagnac \/ grape brandy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🏷️ Brand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prince d’Arignac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🏭 Bottling operator:\u003c\/strong\u003e GCF, Petersbach, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🌍 Country:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e📍 Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gascony, southwest France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🛡️ Appellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Armagnac AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e✨ Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e VS \/ Very Special\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e📏 Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e💪 ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🍇 Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grape wine distillate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🪵 Maturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e⏳ Age statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e VS; numerical age not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🎨 Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straw yellow with golden reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e👃 Aroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet, plum and fresh pear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e👅 Palate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supple, elegant and finely structured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🔚 Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle vanilla and menthol-like notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🏆 Competition award:\u003c\/strong\u003e IWSC Silver, 2017, exact VS expression at 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🏅 Editorial rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wine Enthusiast: 92 points, Best Buy, December 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🥃 Serving suggestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat, over ice or in cocktails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🍐 Pairing suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pear tart or light fruit dessert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🎁 Packaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass bottle with cylindrical gift tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🔢 Barcode \/ SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3228825110002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince d’Arignac","offers":[{"title":"France \/ Armagnac \/ 40%","offer_id":45991330414746,"sku":"3228825110002","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GEL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/7053\/5578\/files\/prince-darignac-vs-armagnac-700ml-front-gift-tube-2000.jpg?v=1792577360","url":"https:\/\/www.alcozon.ge\/products\/prince-darignac-vs-armagnac-700ml-40-france","provider":"Alcozon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
