Each release is a snapshot of one Domaine, one vintage, one cask, bottled without filtering, caramel, or sugar. What ends up in the bottle is what the grower made and time refined, nothing more.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eThis bottle, the 1982 Château de Lahitte was sourced from the estate at Courensan in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, bottled at 48% after more than four decades in cask.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eBrown with gold highlights, the colour of properly mature Armagnac, no shortcuts. The nose leads with the classics of a forty-year cask: cocoa, liquorice, leather and dried leaf, intense but never heavy. On the palate the tannins land silky and softly sweetened, then open into the aromatic explosion Darroze bottlings are known for: candied fruits, spices, the unmistakable rancio of properly aged Armagnac. The finish runs long, as it should.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIt's a textbook example of why Darroze remains the benchmark, an unhurried, single-estate vintage that shows what Bas-Armagnac can be when nobody rushes it.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Darroze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45678347780349,"sku":"DAR1982BELLAIR","price":383.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3252\/4476\/files\/darroze-1982-bellair-grand-bas-armagnac-485-700ml-830705.jpg?v=1727220018","url":"https:\/\/www.spiritsoffrance.com.au\/products\/darroze-1982-bellair-grand-bas-armagnac-48-5-700ml","provider":"Spirits of France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
