Hontambère - Rare Armagnac Collection - Armagnac - 2011 - Baco - Single Cask - 57.2%
The Hontambère Distillery is located in Castelnau d'Auzan, in the Ténarèze region in the heart of Armagnac . Under the direction of Cindy Crighton and Sylvain Lafargue , oenologist, distiller and cellar master, the distillery produces its eaux-de-vie from its vineyard planted with the four main grape varieties: Ugni Blanc, Baco, Colombard and Folle Blanche. The grape brandy is distilled in a century-old Armagnac still. In addition to its own production, Hontambère has enriched its heritage by acquiring old stocks from Domaine Pouchégu, including various vintages that testify to the historical richness of Armagnac.
This Armagnac Ténazère is produced from the Baco grape variety distilled in 2011. It was aged for 10 years in a single barrel ( #TC9) in a dry cellar. It was bottled in May 2023 and 400 bottles were produced.
