Hor S D Age Bas Armagnac Diva

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.
