Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1972

  • Ageing Vintage 1972, a single harvest

Dartigalongue eaux-de-vie are distilled by partner producers using column stills in continuous distillation: this is the method specific to Armagnac, which preserves a maximum of aromas and complexity. The 1972 harvest is a fine example, with an original nose of flambéed banana, caramel and exotic fruits. The palate opens with a fairly round, supple attack, before a distinguished finish of smoky wood. This vintage, presented in a gift box, is ideal for a 1972 anniversary or wedding anniversary, and for all those who appreciate unexpected profiles.

Aged for more than five decades in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie have developed notes of hazelnut, beeswax and aged wood.
