Fermented from a selection of the finest grapes from the region, the Armagnac was slowly distilled in 1990 following the traditional distillation methods of the Dartigalongue family. This process ensured the distillate a quality and olfactory complexity rarely encountered. Subsequently, the Armagnac matured for decades in French oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop a rich and complex bouquet.
Upon opening, the Bas Armagnac 1990 reveals a deep amber color with golden highlights, promising an extraordinary sensory experience. On the nose, it stands out for its elegant notes of ripe plum, cocoa, and a light trace of vanilla obtained from long aging in the barrel. On the palate, it offers a balanced and harmonious taste, where the warmth of the alcohol is perfectly integrated with flavors of dried fruit, walnut, and a hint of spice that lingers in the finish.
Served at a temperature of about 16-18°C, this Armagnac is perfect to enjoy alone, allowing one to appreciate every nuance of its rich and evocative flavor. It is also an ideal accompaniment at the end of a meal, perhaps paired with high-quality dark chocolate or a selection of aged cheeses.
A Dartigalongue Bas Armagnac from 1990 is more than just a distillate; it is a journey through the history and tradition of one of France's most prestigious distilleries. A true gem for connoisseurs seeking an uncompromising tasting experience.

Distillation
Continuous distillation in a column still at low strength; for some ranges the use of traditional artisanal Armagnac pot stills is mentioned.

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.
