Domaine Ludon, located in Hontanx, Landes, specializes in the exclusive cultivation of the Folle Blanche grape, a rare noble grape in Armagnac. The 1998 vintage Armagnac from this domain is an exceptional spirit, distilled in pure Armagnac tradition and aged for over 25 years in oak barrels, creating a drink of rare complexity. This spirit boasts an amber hue with refined aromas of beeswax, polished wood, dried fruit, and dark chocolate, with hints of spices and curry. On the palate, it harmonizes the strength of dried fruits, bitter chocolate, and the richness typical of old Bas-Armagnacs. The finish is long and indulgent. Ideal for sipping neat in a tulip glass, it is best enjoyed after a Gascogna meal with dark chocolate. Available directly from L'Encantada in Vic-Fezensac, Gers, with careful delivery across France and Europe.
