VSOP AOP Bas-Armagnac Very Superior Old Pale with 70 cl Case

Located in Gascony, in the Southwest of France, Domaine Tariquet has belonged to the same family since 1912. Brothers Armin and Rémy Grassa, the fifth generation of winemakers, are now at the head of the estate. Domaine Tariquet is an owner-harvester. This means that all wines and Bas-Armagnacs are produced exclusively from grapes harvested from the estate's vines. Mechanical harvest with destemming directly in the vineyard, skin maceration upon transport then in the presses, static settling, cold stabilization with resuspension of the finest lees, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Continuous distillation in a traditional Armagnac copper still, heated over a wood fire. In century-old cellars offering different types of humidity, in lightly toasted barrels, made exclusively from French oak from the Vosges and Allier, in order to preserve the aromas, finesse and freshness of the eaux-de-vie. An amber color. A lively nose, both ripe and floral. The attack on the palate is round and its intensity unfolds over flavors of woody spices with touches of fresh mint. The finish is enriched with nuances of liquorice and macerated fruits. HAS Enjoy at room temperature or “on the rocks”, as an aperitif or after a meal, neat or in a cocktail. It also goes very well with foie gras and French gastronomy.
