Exceptional Tasting Evening – Maison Hontambère - Masterclass and launch of the Clos des Spiritueux vintage
We have the immense pleasure of inviting you to a unique tasting of the finest vintages from the Hontambère distillery, a true reference in the world of Armagnac.
The Hontambère Distillery is located in Castelnau d'Auzan, in the Ténarèze region, in the heart of Armagnac. Director Cindy Crighton and Distiller and Cellar Master Sylvain Lafargue offer eaux-de-vie produced from the estate's vineyard planted with the four main grape varieties: Ugni Blanc, Baco, Folle Blanche, and Colombard. The grape brandy is distilled in a century-old Armagnac still in the Hontambère cellars. Hontambère is not only an Armagnac producer but also a bottler. Old stocks such as that from the prestigious Pouchégu distillery are now part of the Hontambère collection. In total, more than 550 barrels patiently age in the cellars, testifying to the rich history of Armagnac.
On this evening of October 9th , you will have the opportunity to experience a rare moment in the world of spirits: for the first time in its history, the distillery presents a bottling made in collaboration with a wine merchant. We have the honor of being the first to share this adventure alongside Hontambère. And this also celebrates the 3rd anniversary of our boutique dedicated to spirits: Le Clos des Spiritueux.
