Description

This estate is located in the Ténarèze appellation zone, but the soils are closer to Bas Armagnac than to typical Ténarèze.

This estate had 2 cellars: 1 rather damp and 1 rather dry, in which we could find Domaine Mouracs 1979 (#3).

Small production, distilled by a mobile still, between 1 and 3 units / year. Some of the barrels were made by a former Condom cooper.

Tasting note

Nose

A typical Armagnac nose with dried fruit (prunes, raisins), light oak, walnut, and caramel. The whole is harmonious and balanced.

Palate

The fruitiness on the nose is more intense than on the palate. The apples and pears are rather macerated in brandy, but they give way to the woodiness, which brings a distinct bitterness to the finish. At times, almonds creep into the tasting, accompanied by a touch of sweetness as on the nose.

Overall

Long, accomplished. Finely chocolaty, it is also rancid (cherry brandy, apricot liqueur). It evokes the harvesters’ baskets filled with golden bunches of the folle blanche grape variety. Retro olfaction oscillates between prune, vanilla and dark chocolate. The empty glass is roasted (tobacco, coffee).
