Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1987

  • Ageing Vintage 1987, a single harvest

Since 1838, the house of Dartigalongue has belonged to the same family, ageing and blending eaux-de-vie from its region with one guiding principle: sharing is happiness. The 1987 harvest lends itself beautifully to this spirit. The nose combines exotic fruits with a rancio of dry walnut, and a delicate hint of elderflower. The palate is richly indulgent and subtle, with what the house describes as a very fine balance. Best served at the end of a meal, in small glasses, to allow everyone to enjoy the way the aromas evolve. A lovely gift for a wedding anniversary or a birth from 1987.
