Located in the heart of the Gers, the Veuve Lafontan house has a rich collection of vintages. They are found, for the oldest, in the treasure room, a unique place where vintages dating from 1888 to 1969 are preciously preserved in glass candies. More recent vintages are pursuing a long aging process in oak barrels. Through this collection, the Veuve Lafontan house has sent us all the ancestral know-how acquired for over a century. The breeding in an oak piece of this 1966 vintage produced by Le Maitre de Chai gives us delicious unsuspected aromas.

Dress: the dress of this 1966 vintage is of a good intensity. Oak farm tints over the years these vintage Armagnacs.
Nose: The nose is predominantly floral with wooded and spicy aromas that are released at the end of this first nose.
Mouth: The attack is rich in matters, the alcohol sensation structures Armagnac and brings it relief. The tannins are flexible and silky.
Final: the final of this Armagnac Veuve Lafontan 1966 is very complex, carried on notes of undergrowth, humus and ferns.

The Bas-Armagnac, whose capital is Eauze, is west of the appellation. It runs on the Landes and the western part of the Gers. It represents 67% of the areas identified in Armagnac. In this part of the terroir, the floors are sablo simedy, called "sandblasters". Bas-Armagnac brandies are delicate and very fruity.
