Nose: The aroma is a stark contrast to the darker and richer Hontambère 1983, bursting with bright fruits like apricots, mirabelle plums, quinces, and yellow apples. It's very evocative of spring, with flowers blooming and a sweet scent of acacia honey in the air. There’s also a hint of lemon zest adding a fresh touch. It is somewhat Cognac-like in nature, but that of a younger, fresher, and crisper Cognac.

Palate: The bright fruits gently tickle your tongue with their freshness. The sweetness of honey adds cushion and contributes soft sweet flavors, while a subtle acidity brings everything into balance, making for an exciting and well-rounded flavor experience.

Who?
Grape of the Art. Domaine d’Espérance is the Armagnac producer with whom they collaborated and from whose own stock they made this excellent Armagnac selection.

Domaine d'Espérance is a distinguished Armagnac producer located in the heart of the Grand Bas Armagnac region in Gascogne, France, about an hour and a half from Bordeaux. Acquired in 1990 by Jean-Louis and Claire de Montesquiou, the estate was revitalized by the couple who passionately restored its renown. The couple initially focused on wine production while allowing the Armagnac to age gracefully. Today, the Domaine is celebrated for its exceptional vintages and blends, which have garnered numerous medals at the Paris Agricultural Competition (one of France’s most respected and cherished awards to possess), among so many others. The entire process, from vine growing to distillation and barrel aging, is meticulously overseen by a dedicated team, ensuring the best Armagnac ends up in bottle and then in our glasses.
