Veuve Goudoulin VSOP Bas Armagnac

Fragrant with notes of dried apricot, vanilla, and gentle spice, this Armagnac reveals layers of honey, almond, and candied citrus on the palate. Its amber-gold hue reflects ageing in oak, while the texture is smooth and warming, with a finish that lingers on nutty sweetness, spice, and subtle rancio.

Founded in 1935 by Madame Jeanne Goudoulin, this family estate has built a reputation for fine Bas-Armagnac shaped by Gascony’s sandy, silty soils. The VSOP is aged for at least four years in oak barrels, softening the spirit’s rustic edges and bringing added depth. Balanced and approachable, it shows both the fruit-driven vibrancy of young Armagnac and the complexity introduced by oak — a classic example of the style, equally suited to sipping neat or as a refined digestif.
