Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1980

  • Ageing Vintage 1980, a single harvest

During the 1980s, Pierre Dartigalongue handed the reins of the house to his children, Jean-Pierre and Françoise. The 1980 harvest belongs to this period of transition. The nose is highly empyreumatic, marked by smoky wood and roasted notes. The palate is taut and fairly straight, opening only on the finish with aromas of woodland undergrowth and date. This assertive character will appeal to those who enjoy dry, toasted eaux-de-vie, paired with a coffee. 70 cl bottle presented in a gift box, for someone born in 1980.
