A 1974 Bas-Armagnac from Domaine Bellair, made from Baco and matured for 46 years in French oak in a damp cellar. L'Encantada selected single cask 12 for the Foundations release and bottled it at natural cask strength of 44.9%, unchillfiltered and without colouring, in 180 bottles of 500 ml. Domaine Bellair farms eight hectares in Bas-Armagnac on soils that are 60% sand and 40% clay-limestone, growing Ugni Blanc and Baco.
Tasting Notes
Roasted apple and cider at first, then juicy apricot, candied lemon and linden blossom with air.
Bold and direct, with ginger, vanilla and fine liquorice moving into minty freshness; tart, crisp apple gives a fresh accent in the mid-palate.
Long and elegant, with cut hay, alfalfa and grapefruit alongside fine balsamic notes of balsam and camphor; nutmeg and ginger linger with a fresh impression.
