The S\u00e9lection L’Encantada 25 ans is an Armagnac 25 ans brut de f\u00fbt crafted from a blend of several eaux-de-vie from Bas-Armagnac and Armagnac-T\u00e9nar\u00e8ze.<\/p>\n
These two emblematic Armagnac terroirs offer complementary profiles. Bas-Armagnac brings finesse, fruit and elegance, while T\u00e9nar\u00e8ze contributes more to the structure, depth and character of the blend. <\/p>\n
The result is a rich, complex and balanced Armagnac, shaped by more than two decades of aging.<\/p>\n
Time is at the heart of this S\u00e9lection 25 ans.<\/p>\n
The eaux-de-vie are aged for many years in oak casks, where they evolve slowly in contact with the wood and the air. Over time, the Armagnac gains in roundness, complexity and aromatic depth. <\/p>\n
This prolonged maturation allows the aromas of fruit, spice and wood to gradually integrate, while preserving a lovely vibrancy.<\/p>\n
At L’Encantada, the casks are monitored and tasted regularly in order to select those that best express their terroir and personality.<\/p>\n
The distinctiveness of this Armagnac 25 ans also lies in its blend.
Eaux-de-vie from Bas-Armagnac and T\u00e9nar\u00e8ze are brought together to create a balance between finesse and power.
Bas-Armagnac notably brings fruity, floral and delicate notes. T\u00e9nar\u00e8ze completes the whole with more body, structure and intensity. <\/p>\n
This blend results in a harmonious Armagnac, both expressive and elegant, capable of revealing several facets throughout the tasting.<\/p>\n
On the nose, the S\u00e9lection 25 ans reveals a beautiful aromatic intensity.
Ripe and candied fruit appear quickly, accompanied by floral and spicy notes. With aeration, deeper nuances emerge: cocoa, licorice, dried fruit, noble wood and balsamic touches.
On the palate, the attack is ample and generous. The texture is rich, with a fine balance between freshness, power and gourmandise.
The fruit, spice and woody notes continue into a long, deep and lightly tannic finish.
This Armagnac 25 ans thus offers an evolving tasting experience, where every minute in the glass reveals new aromas. <\/p>\n
L’Encantada’s philosophy is based on selecting authentic Armagnacs, aged with respect for time and their identity.
This S\u00e9lection 25 ans is offered as brut de f\u00fbt in order to preserve as much as possible the natural expression of the eaux-de-vie.
The color and character of the Armagnac are the result of its aging, without seeking to mask or standardize its profile.
Each cuv\u00e9e is designed as the expression of artisanal know-how and a Gascon terroir.<\/p>\n
The S\u00e9lection L’Encantada 25 ans is best enjoyed neat, at room temperature. Tasting video<\/a>
