Dartigalongue Cuvee Louis Philippe Bas - Armagnac 750ml
Refined and expressive nose which opens with notes of white flowers, honey, blond tobacco and spices. With some aeration, subtle notes of rancio and leather appear. The palate opens with silky tannins that develop to reveal candied fruits and a beautiful freshness perfectly integrated with the alcohol. A remarkably long finish with a delicate balance of licorice and light smokiness. A spirit that has reach its apogee!

Dartigalongue Grand Eau-de-vie Bas-Armagnac 750ml
This Grand Eau-de-Vie was created by the cellar master to illustrate the beauty and richness of their Armagnac. The youngest vintage used in this wonderful expression has spent a minimum of 25 years in oak barrels, but some of the eau-de-vie in the composition are much older; since the barrel is never completely emptied, it acts as a mini-solera, containing remains of Armagnacs that are many decades old.
Tasting Notes from Benoit Hillion, Director of Dartigalongue:
Nose: vanilla, dried fruits, spices on the nose, as well as white flower notes after a short aeration.
Palate: intense, developing aromas of dried fruits, spices, hints of “rancio,” with a wonderful licorice finish. Very subtle and elegant.
REVIEWS
Chairman’s Trophy / 97 points / Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation
“A whiff of fruitcake on the nose delivers plenty of dried fruits and Christmas spices. The fruitcake intensifies on the palate before notes of licorice and something reminiscent old library books are revealed.”
