DAMBLAT ARMAGNAC 36 YEARS AGE

  • Ageing 36 years of age
  • Cask Aged in black oak casks, following distillation in an Armagnac pot still on the estate

This bottle bears the mark of thirty-six years spent in black oak casks, in the quiet cellars of the Damblat and Havion families, distillers at Château d'Ayguetinte since 1859. The eau-de-vie is made from grapes vinified and distilled on the estate, in an Armagnac pot still, exclusively from the terroirs of Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze. A long-aged Armagnac at 40%, it bears witness to a family tradition that has remained faithful to the classic methods of Gascony. A rare expression, crafted for special occasions and for enthusiasts who appreciate unhurried tasting, best savoured slowly, after dinner or by the fire.

How it is made

Vinified and distilled on the estate using a traditional Armagnac still, then aged in black oak casks. Bottled in a mouth-blown decanter, this eau-de-vie is a truly precious spirit.

Within the château, in the dim stillhouse, the gift of the vine, the craft of master distillers and the old secrets of the ages come together to create spirits of the highest order. Continuous single distillation and ageing in black oak casks yield Armagnacs rich in fruit aromas, full-bodied and beautifully complex.
