Color: Old orange gold

Nose: The initial scent that hits your nose is chocolate. This dominant aroma is rich and comforting, showing great depth. A light peppery perfume follows, adding an unexpected but delightful twist. It adds complexity, tickling the senses in a pleasant, invigorating way.

Palate: A long, persistent fullness. This full-bodied nature lingers on your taste buds long after the first sip. It shows great depth and complexity, presenting an almost tactile sensation of richness in the mouth.

Finish: A balanced interplay between the flavors and the texture. It leaves a final impression that marries the taste of the barrel—its rich, woody, almost smoky quality—with the substance and mouthfeel of the drink. Cohesive and captivating.

Description

L'Encantada Domaine le Sablé 1976 Armagnac

In the heart of Bas-Armagnac, the village of Lagrange was home to the Le Sablé Armagnac estate, before its vines were uprooted. Only three rare and exceptional vintages were produced: 1973, 1974 and 1976. Distilled from the Baco grape variety, these eaux-de-vie are round and smooth. A typical example of the Armagnac d'auteur, it was aged for 40 years in barrels on the estate in the cellar before being transferred to dame-jeanne. Grape variety: 100% Baco.
