Castarede 1987

The Castarede house, founded in 1832, is the oldest Armagnac house and manages a collection of vintages. Located in the heart of Bas Armagnac, it has a 16-hectare vineyard surrounding a 16th-century castle, allowing control of distillation through ageing in local oak barrels. This 1987 vintage has a copper mahogany colour. The nose is marked by exotic wood with notes of tobacco and cigars. The palate is ample and airy, with spicy flavours brought by freshness, and a long-lasting finish on aromas of spices and tobacco.
