Les Assemblages from Chateau Garreau
This is beautifully composed blend crafted by none other than Carole Garreau herself.
This blend consists of Armagnacs ranging in age from 32 years old, 30 years old, 26 and 24 years old Armagnacs blended together.
Color: A deep, rich amber with golden highlights, indicating its maturity.
Nose: Expect a complex and captivating aroma. You’ll likely find pronounced notes of dried fruits like prunes, figs, and dates, along with hints of candied orange peel. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves should be present, interwoven with vanilla, oak, and well-developed rancio. There might also be subtle floral notes and hints of leather or tobacco.
Palate: This Armagnac should have a velvety smooth texture with concentrated flavors. Expect a harmonious blend of stewed fruits, spices, and oak. The rancio will likely contribute a nutty complexity, and you might find notes of dark chocolate, coffee, or toffee. The tannins should be well-integrated, providing structure without astringency.
Finish: The finish should be exceptionally long and warming, with lingering notes of spice, rancio, and oak.
