The Virtues - Marres Collection Chai Doré 1976 Bas Armagnac - Patience

Dieser Armagnac wurde 1976 aus Baco und Ugni Blanc Trauben in Bas Armagnac, Frankreich hergestellt.

Er reifte für 49 Jahre in Fass #9 und wurde 2026 in Fassstärke mit 47,5% aus dem Fasskeller von Monsieur Marres abgefüllt. Für die Destillation wurde eine Pot Still verwendet.

Robert Bauer schreibt zum Chai Doré 1976: "We push open a yellow-painted door that leads into a mysterious, private cask cellar. The golden cellar of Monsieur Marres, a collector of precious treasures, who saved a few rare casks from befriended small Armagnac farmers.

Poured into the glass, the Armagnac truly glows with golden brilliance, while a warming fragrance of tropical fruits fills the room. Dried mangoes and sweet-sour passion fruits vibrate with summer, while fermented apricots, physalis, and rhubarb send a familiar greeting from the Gascony.

On the palate, a highly complex interplay of sweetness, tropical acidity, and fine bitter notes caresses the senses, settling on the tongue with an oily texture. The crowning glory of five decades of patience lies in the finish, where tropical fruits, vegetal notes, and refined chocolate unite in a brilliant final chord.

We dedicate this virtue to all the patient, loving parents who, in the storm of everyday life, preserve their sense for the beauty of family and life."
