Le Passeur Lascabanes 2019 #84-3 70cl (04/2024)
This Armagnac was produced in 2019 by Lascabanes from Ugni Blanc grapes in Armagnac Ténarèze, France.
It matured for 4 years in cask 84-3 in a dry warehouse and was bottled in 2024 at cask strength of 71.0% . A pot still was used for distillation, which is very rare in Armagnac. Almost all producers use a traditional column still for the Distillation.
Until Romain from Le Passeur introduced us to this young Armagnac, we only knew of three producers who use a pot still (Delord, Janneau and Samalens). We are not aware of any single cask pot still Armagnac from any of the three.
The Lascabanes 2019 is therefore special not only because of its brutal 71% alcohol content, but because we can now finally try a pure pot still Armagnac!
