Description

Crafted with expertise and centuries of distilling history, Castarède Armagnac 1946 boasts a stunning amber-bronze color and luscious aromas of warm spices, cocoa, and prunes. On the palate, a smooth, well-balanced flavor profile with notes of mellow walnut and delicious freshness leaves a delightful, satiny finish. Fermented in a unique, 50-year-old alembic still and aged in French oak barrels, this single-vintage Armagnac from the Bas Armagnac subregion is the epitome of quality and refinement.

About The Producer

Maison Castarde is a family-run Armagnac house with centuries of distilling history. It is based just south of the town MaulŽon d'Armagnac within the Bas Armagnac subregion. The Castarde estate has a 17th-century ch‰teau that has been the site of distillation and aging since it was acquired by the family in the late 20th century. The company began as an Armagnac nŽgociant in the early 1800s under the name Jules Nismes Delclou & Cie. In 1818, the family was ennobled by Louis XVIII and was able to adopt the Castarde name to the business, which became the first declared Armagnac trading house after being entered into an official trade registration in 1832. The family purchased Ch‰teau de Maniban in the 1980s, which has subsequently become Castarde's headquarters. The ch‰teau and estate are named for its original owners, the Maniban family, who are credited with first introducing the court of Toulouse to Armagnac. The Ch‰teau de Maniban estate covers 16 hectares (40 acres) of vineyards, primarily planted with Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Baco Blanc, which was introduced into the vineyard in 2015. The vines are planted on clay and loam soils with high acidity and iron content. Distilling is done in an alembic continuous still that is more than 50 years old, and the freshly distilled eau-de-vie is transferred to new French oak barrels for aging. After several years the spirit is moved to older barrels for the rest, and the majority, of its aging.
