Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1999

Ageing Vintage 1999, a single harvest
Awards Silver medal, Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2024

This 1999 vintage was awarded a silver medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris in 2024. Dartigalongue finds pleasant notes of mirabelle and quince paste on the nose. The palate is very indulgent and rounded, with quince returning alongside notes of frangipane. This fruity, patisserie-inspired profile lends itself beautifully to the end of a celebratory meal, paired with a fruit tart or an almond cake. Presented in a gift box, it makes a fine choice for a birth, a wedding, or a birthday marking the last year of the century.
