Domaine de Salie 1997 Bas-Armagnac Darroze (70cl, 50%)

A 29-year-old Bas-Armagnac from Domaine de Salie, distilled in 1997 and bottled in April 2026 at its natural cask strength of 50%. In Darroze's Unique Collection, individual origins and vintages are kept separate during ageing, with each Armagnac matured in its own 420-litre oak cask. The Baco grapes come from 2.2 hectares of sandy soils in Le Frêche, in the Grand Bas-Armagnac. The spirit was distilled in a continuous still at 53% and matured for 29 years in regional oak. It is bottled without colouring or chill filtration. The nose brings intense dried fruit, fine citrus notes and warm spice. The palate is full, warm and dry, with clear wood notes, nutty accents and dark fruit. The finish is long, with spicy wood notes and a light tobacco nuance.
