Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1991

  • Ageing Vintage 1991, a single harvest

Each year, the Dartigalongue family selects its eaux-de-vie in the Bas-Armagnac, from silty and sandy soils renowned for producing fine, elegant spirits. The 1991 harvest comes from this terroir. Its distinctive nose brings together mocha, vanilla and pastry aromas. The palate is well balanced, resting on dried fruits and sandalwood. This vintage is best enjoyed at leisure, as a digestif or paired with a square of dark chocolate. Presented in a 70 cl bottle with a gift box, it celebrates a birth or a wedding from 1991.
