CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1984

  • Ageing 36 years in cask, bottled in 2020
  • Cask oak

The harvest spent thirty-six years in cask before being bottled in 2020, making the vintage forty-two years old in 2026. A single year, unblended, brought to 40% vol. The house, which presents itself as the oldest independent merchant house in Armagnac, ships it in a 70 cl bottle with a gift box. A genuine gift for someone born in 1984.
