Another vintage of the Dartigalongue 1970 harvest lands, this time aged for close to five decades!
Dartigalongue, in the Western part of Bas Armagnac, lays claim to being the oldest house in the appellation. The family began to distill in 1813. Their vineyards reside on soils that are more sandy than those in the East of Bas Armaganc. These sandy soils tend to produce grapes with higher acidity, which results in very round spirits with plenty of finesse. The house also employs mostly Gascogne oak (90%) which gives the eau de vie more spice than those aged in majority Limousin oak. It remains a family run operation with production around 60,000 bottles per year. 40% Alc./Vol. Other reviews... ‘Gold’ Best French Spirits, Hong-Kong 2014.
