This house, founded under Louis-Philippe, is proud to be the oldest in Armagnac. For 180 years, the Dartigalongue family has watched over the maturation of their eaux-de-vie in a magnificent cellar in the heart of Nogaro. Their armagnacs are the result of the blending of ugni blanc, baco and folle-blanche. They are distilled in a low-temperature still and aged for many years in oak barrels from the region. The house presents a very complete collection of eaux-de-vie (VSOP, hors d'âge, vintage...).

La dégustation entre l’armagnac blanc, puis vieilli en fût, allant du 15 au 30 ans d’âge permet d’apprécier les subtilités liées au temps de vieillissement; un régal
Plutôt un rite initiatique , voilà comment je décrirais l'expérience vécue, seul ce matin, auprès d'un passionné absolu, le maître de chai de cette vénérable maison !
Il m'a expliqué avec fougue et moult détails techniques comment l'élaboration de ce breuvage procéde de perpétuels essais et ajustages faisant appel a un savoir-faire ancestral mais aussi à un talent personnel certain .
Un artisanat élevé au rang d'un art !
Magique !
Merci Monsieur de m'avoir accordé de votre temps.
