History,
More than 170 years of history....The Dartigalongue family started to distill in 1813. In 1838, Pascal Dartigalongue founded the first Maison d’Armagnac in Nogaro, in the heart of Bas Armagnac region. In 1870, his son Joseph acquired a big vineyard in Salles d’Armagnac, near Nogaro. A reputation for aging... Over the years, Dartigalongue developed a reputation for blending and aging. They have many cellars, some are upstairs and dry, some are below ground and humid, some are at ground level and somewhere in between humid and dry. This really affects the aging brandies in very different ways. They use Gascon oak, a very local oak that is known to bring spice and color. Importer Notes
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Candied orange peel and humid cellar, wet oak. Amazing vibrancy for such an old Armagnac.
Palate: Displaying notes of orange blossoms, cooked peach and a touch of blond tobacco on the lively but warm finish
