Description

The 1983 vintage armagnac from Domaine Lous Mouracs, bottled as a brut de fut by L’Encantada, is a rare and exceptional Gascon spirit aged 42 years in oak casks.

Crafted by traditional continuous still distillation from Folle Blanche, this 1983 vintage from the Domaine Lous Mouracs expresses all the depth and character of the Bas-Armagnac terroir. Bottled uncut and unfiltered straight from the cask.

Tasting notes: Mahogany robe with amber highlights. Deeply complex nose: tobacco, leather, beeswax, dried figs and a noble rancio. Velvety, dense palate with flavours of coffee, cocoa and exotic spices. Very long, distinguished finish.

Serving: Best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass. Perfect digestif or special occasion spirit.

Tasting note

Nose

Well-fruited nose of apple, pear, stewed grapes and candied cherry. The almond is also present, but caramelized. The profile is fine and the woodiness delicate. The occasional whiff of alcohol is still noticeable.

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).
