About Domaine de Cassagnoles
Wonderful second cru young armagnacs. Basically a wine producer in Tenareze who make superb young armagnacs and the best white armagnac
Details
The ageing process of these armagnacs provides a more rustic effect with a dry leather and mushroom taste. This is not everybodies cup of tea but it does exhibit the Ténarèze qualities.
