Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 2009

  • Ageing Vintage 2009, single harvest

Since October 2025, Dartigalongue has raised the strength of its vintages from 40 to 42% vol., covering 1962 to 2009: this 2009 is the youngest in the series. The nose is rounded, with prunes, spices, candied orange and cinnamon. The palate is indulgent, offering caramelised apple, spices and sandalwood, with a fine length carried by silky tannins. A generous vintage, easy to share. Worth setting aside for a child born in 2009, or for a wedding anniversary from that year.
