More questions
Elegant and restrained, the Bas Armagnac 1995 signed by Dartigalongue shows a mature and refined profile without lacking character. On the nose it opens with sensations of dried fruit and compote, a sweet note of dried plum and citrus zest, accompanied by light tobacco and sweet spices; the oak is present but well integrated, lending depth rather than dominating. The bouquet remains balanced, inviting a thoughtful sip. The color in the glass is amber with coppery reflections that speak to its age.
On the palate it reveals softness and warmth, a polished structure and a subtle savoriness that maintains freshness and persistence. The sip is enveloping, with echoes of gentle caramel, vanilla and a trace of leather that fades into a long, harmonious finish. It lends itself to after-dinner contemplation or as a refined gift: the wooden case makes it elegant on display and convenient to present at the table; serve at room temperature in large glasses to capture its complexity.

The story
The Dartigalongue family has been active in Armagnac since the 19th century: Pascal Dartigalongue settled in Nogaro in 1838 and began selling eau‑de‑vie in casks, soon exporting. Management has remained in the family for generations; the house preserves a vintage collection dating back to 1848. During the 20th century the house expanded international sales and developed both blend ranges and the sale of vintages and single casks.
Distillation
Continuous distillation in a column still at low strength; for some ranges the use of traditional artisanal Armagnac pot stills is mentioned.
Ageing
Ageing in Gascon oak barrels (about 400 L); after 40–50 years the best vintages may be transferred to glass demijohns to preserve their character; numbered single cask and limited editions exist.
