Tasting Notes
A vintage Armagnac like the 1996 would have been aged for a significant period before being bottled. Typically, it should display and complex flavour profile with notes of dried fruits, vanilla, spices, and sometimes a hint of smokiness. The exact flavours can vary based on the terroir, grape varieties used, and the aging process.
Serving & Food Pairing
Armagnac is traditionally enjoyed neat, allowing you to fully appreciate its complexity. However, it can be paired with a variety of cheeses like Roquefort, Comté, high quality dark chocolate, caramel-based desserts and roasted or candied nuts.
Maison Ryst-Dupeyron, a prestigious Armagnac house in Gascony, France, has a rich history dating back to 1832. After a devastating fire destroyed their cellars in 1904, they discovered that barrels hidden in nearby vineyards had exceptional qualities. This led to the creation of "Armagnac de terroir," or "Armagnac of the land," which showcases the family's resilience and commitment to producing exceptional Armagnac.
