Tasting Note
On the nose, floral notes, then sandalwood, spices, cardamom. On the palate, a straightforward attack, an explosion of aromas that coats the palate to give way to these aromas of caramel, dried fruit and spices. The sweet finish reveals aromas of praline. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, the eau-de-vie is airy, still sparkling with energy after 27 years in wood. A nugget, a rare balance!

Dartigalongue
The Dartigalongue family carefully selects its white Eaux-de-vies made from the white wines of three varieties– Ugni Blanc (for the fruit) – Baco 22A (specific to AOC Armagnac – for the structure) and Folle Blanche (for the finesse). The Eaux-de-vies are from the Bas Armagnac terroir, with its silty and sandy soils that are reputed for giving fine and elegant Armagnacs. Distillation takes place in an alambic with plates, a continuous distillation at a low degree of alcohol that is characteristic of the traditional Armagnac distillation in order to retain the maximum aromas and complexity. The oak barrels used for ageing the eau-de-vie are bought from local coopers and are mostly made from Gascon oak – southwest. These barrels contribute to the generous and gourmet taste of the Armagnac. The goal of this careful and precise ageing is to permeate the Dartigalongue Armagnacs with the family-style that can be summed up in two words: freshness and full flavoured.
