It is another in a line of excellent single vintage releases from the small-scale producer Domaine Boingnères. This is a distillery with an unerring commitment to quality, using the majority of their small 50 acre vineyards to grow the challenging, yet delicious, Folle Blanche grape. The same family has farmed this land since 1807 and is now in its 6th generation. Furthermore, the distillery refuses to use any caramel colouring or chill-filtration and is often bottled at cask strength. They continue to use traditional continuous alembics, which run non-stop during the 20 day distilling season. The Domaine often distils as low as 52%, meaning that no dilution is required before casking or bottling, and the maximum flavour is ensured. Maturation occurs in a small barn on the estate in French oak casks, some (like this bottling) resting for many decades. The resulting Armagnac is of the highest quality, with a breathtaking balance between delicious, oily, spicy fruit, and robust, decadent oak. A fantastic bottle from one of the best in the industry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eColour: Quite intense but deep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSmell: vast fineness of the nose, peach, grape, apricot and melon, darker undertones of chocolate and a limited flow of wood, plum and marzipan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMouth: dry, fruity, sweet and light and dark at the same time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Domaine Boingneres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40423472169148,"sku":"BOIN85FBCOL","price":535.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3252\/4476\/products\/domaine-boingneres-1985-cepages-nobles-grand-bas-armagnac-49-700ml-345183.jpg?v=1688747331"},{"product_id":"domaine-boingneres-1981-folle-blanche-grand-bas-armagnac-48-700ml","title":"Domaine Boingneres 1981 Folle Blanche Grand Bas Armagnac 48% 700ml","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA higher-than-normal strength Bas Armagnac from the 1981 vintage, remarkable also for being produced solely from the once-ubiquitous, now all-but-forgotten Folle Blanche grape.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Domaine Boingneres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40423501922492,"sku":"BOIN81FB","price":832.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3252\/4476\/products\/domaine-boingneres-1981-folle-blanche-grand-bas-armagnac-48-700ml-197249.jpg?v=1688747331"},{"product_id":"darroze-1991-grand-bas-armagnac-lamarquette-49-200ml","title":"Darroze 1991 Lamarquette Grand Bas Armagnac 49% 200ml","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDomaine de Lamarquette has belonged to the Martres family for generations (a member of the most recent generation is also a well known French economist).
