Mllésimé 1974<br />40°vol<br /><br />THE DISTILLERY<br />Founded by Pascal Dartigalongue under the reign of Louis-Philippe in 1838, the Maison Dartigalongue is now the oldest producer of Bas Armagnacs.

Brandy Garofoli 12 anni 70cl

Brandy over 12 years<br /><br />The base is a single-varietal wine from a single vintage, 2003. The Montepulciano grapes were selected, harvested and vinified specifically for this production. The raw<br />material was distilled using a discontinuous bain-marie still in water diffusion. The passage of years, the balanced use of small oak casks and the magic of the microclimate<br />make this Brandy an exceptional product.<br /><br />Processing and refinement<br />The Brandy was distilled in 2003 from a wine specially vinified for this production. In 2004 the Brandy was aged in small, medium-toasted Allier oak barrels, previously used<br />to age Chardonnay wine. The Brandy remains in these barrels until 2012 when it is bottled and then left to rest in the bottle for a further 3 years. Finally, after 12 years from<br />the grape harvest, our Brandy is ready to be tasted.<br /><br />Colour: pale amber.<br />Nose: elegant woody floral notes, with hints of vanilla, sweet spices and dried fruit.<br />Taste: warm and enveloping sip, it introduces a pleasant texture<br />that conquers with an 'aroma of refinement' and softness.<br />Alchol: 43% vol.<br />Serving temperature: 16° - 18° C<br />

Drouin Pays d'ague Reserve...

Drouin Pays D'Auge Reserve<br />Drouin France<br /><br />70 cl / 40 °<br />Typology: Calvados<br />Raw material: Apples<br />Fermentation: Indigenous yeasts<br />Method of production: Charentais Alembic<br />Box: Yes<br /><br />Why it is different:<br />We could call Drouin Pays D'auge the grand cru of the Calvados appellation, with very strict rules. The Réserve is made like all Drouin calvados: harvesting of the 30 apple<br />varieties and reaching maturity, champagne-style soft pressing with yields reduced to 65% to preserve the fragrance and freshness of the juice, spontaneous fermentation<br />with indigenous yeasts. The ciders for distillation are the youngest ones, which remain in stainless steel vats for several months, at least 5. They are fresh and fruity<br />fermented, not overly complex, and ideal for the production of distillates for short ageing. Distillation takes place in the traditional copper Charentais still, ageing in French<br />oak barrels for 4 years.<br /><br />How to drink it:<br />To be enjoyed neat in a tulip glass. Excellent when paired with chocolate desserts or a classic apple and pear cake.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Fermentation is a key process in the production of all Christian Drouin spirits: it all happens naturally with the distillery's indigenous yeasts. The freshly pressed juice<br />reaches the stainless steel vats, where it ferments and rests for at least 5 months, but in some cases up to 1 year. Based on the fermentation time, it is already clear what<br />type of calvados can be obtained. Those obtained from young ciders will be ideal for the distillation of younger, fresh and fruity calvados. The more mature and evolved ciders<br />are distilled from June onwards, but in some cases also in the autumn following the harvest, resulting in very complex and rich distillates, ideal for long ageing, particularly<br />for vintage wines.<br />
