Castarède Armagnac Vintage 1952

Ageing 68 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask Oak

The 1952 harvest gave rise to this eau-de-vie, which Castarède aged for sixty-eight years in oak casks before bottling in 2020. Seventy-four years have passed since the harvest. The house has published tasting notes for this vintage, reproduced in this listing: an Armagnac of exceptional keeping that has retained its full power. Founded in 1832, Castarède remains a family estate, based at Château de Maniban in Mauléon-d'Armagnac. 70 cl bottle, 40% vol., presented in a gift box.

ColourDeep and dark, old copper highlights
