Description

Armagnac Castarède, the oldest Armagnac House founded in 1832 presents you with an unusual cuvée. Florence Castarède has always participated in the cigar club and has realized that cigar and Armagnac belong together. Therefore, to meet cigar amateurs’ demand she came up with the idea of creating a special cuvée for them. Armagnac and cigar: It’s a long story, they are made for one another. Both are from a blessed terroir and human ingenuity. The production of a great Armagnac or a great cigar is the fruit of immemorial traditions and men’s labor who devote their lives to producing these precious things with talent. As Armagnac, the leaves of tobacco ripen in barrels and the fire is omnipresent during their creations. The House of Castarède offers you an amazing cuvée dedicated to cigars. We have selected an Armagnac with a lot of character, powerful, expressing its stunning terroir echoing cigars from La Vuelta Abajo. Tasting the perfect match between this Armagnac and cigars is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Alcohol degree: 44%
Color: Light amber and golden colors with topaz highlights clear.
Nose: Very rich but subtle with scents of verbena, orange blossom, and cherry kirsch. The finale is ending towards mint
Mouth: On the palate, the first sip is nervous but rich and intense starting out with almond aromas which come along with a hint of vine peach, yellow peach, and fresh tobacco. The finale is very persistent and is slowly melting on hints of candied mandarins and prune sauce. The bottom glass is very rich and fresh, still on the warmed prune and fresh herbs

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.
