Domaine de Joÿ's Hors d'Âge is a 15-year-old Bas-Armagnac produced from estate-grown Ugni Blanc, Baco 22A, and Folle Blanche grapes on the Panjas vineyards. The Hors d'Âge designation denotes Armagnac of a minimum ten years of barrel ageing; the Domaine de Joÿ expression specifies a minimum of 15 years. Distilled in the traditional Armagnacais continuous column still, the eau-de-vie was aged in Gascon oak casks on the estate. The extended maturation has developed a balanced Bas-Armagnac with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, toffee, and oak spice, with the supple and fruity character that characterises the Domaine de Joÿ style. Bottled at 40.5% ABV in a 500ml presentation.

Domaine de Joÿ is a family estate situated in Panjas, Gers, at the heart of the Bas-Armagnac appellation in Gascony, south-west France. The estate was established by the Gessler family — Swiss immigrants who came to love the land of the Gers — and is now in its fourth generation of family ownership under Vanessa and Kévin Gessler, grandchildren of founders André and Véronique Gessler. The domaine farms 190 hectares of vines, of which ten per cent are dedicated to Armagnac distillation on Bas-Armagnac's distinctive sandy boulbènes soils. Domaine de Joÿ produces both Côtes de Gascogne wines and a carefully selected range of vintage and aged Bas-Armagnacs from its own estate-grown grapes.
