The word Lassalle is often used in Gascony to designate a high point, a fortified place. However the building is modest, but the soil is good, vinified with ugni blanc, these armagnacs have been distilled with a mobile still on wood fire.
Tasting note
Nose
Very ripe fruit, slightly oxidized apple emerges from the glass. We feel the sweetness and it arouses curiosity, a touch of raisins …
Palate
Cooked caramel, a pleasant sensation of freshly ground coffee, vanilla and hints of
cinnamon and other spices clash.
The slight bitterness is interesting because it brings a vivacity, a small thread to finish on notes of roasted dried fruits, currants, a slice of gingerbread. The journey is complex but the promise is in the glass!
