CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1989

Ageing 31 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask oak

In November 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. A few weeks earlier, the Gascon harvest had yielded this eau-de-vie, which Castarède left for thirty-one years in oak casks before bottling in 2020. It is a single vintage, unblended, brought to 40% vol. Castarède, a family house now in its sixth generation, watches over its casks at Château de Maniban. A vintage perfectly suited to anyone born during that pivotal year, or to those who hold a clear memory of the autumn of 1989. 70 cl bottle, presented in a gift box.

Aged for nearly four decades in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie retain a lovely vitality, with notes of candied fruit, vanilla and gentle spice.
