DeMontal have probably the most modern distillery in the region and their methods of both viticulture and viniculture are hugely sophisticated. DeMontal makes great armagnac but also many wines from their 700 hectare estate. The advantages are that their quality is always exceptionally high and individuality between vintages is much harder to identify. The distillery is state of the art and it is claimed that the grapes spend less than 10 minutes between vineyard and press to minimize SO2 content. The pressings are in stainless steel pneumatic drums and the distillation is on very light lees. The method of vinification is altogether natural, the addition of anything artificial being forbidden. The wine is distilled right after harvest time so as to preserve a maximum amount of aromas. Stability of DeMontal quality is quite unique!

The nose reveals aromas of dried fig, walnut, vanilla, aged wood, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is smooth and enveloping, with layers of tobacco, dark chocolate, spice, and honey. The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and contemplative—a truly meditative experience.

Best enjoyed neat as a luxurious after-dinner digestif. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or a fine cigar. A spirit to be savored slowly and with reverence.
