Domaine Le Basque Vintage 2004

Domaine Le Basque is a small, traditional estate in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, where craftsmanship and patience are at the core of everything they do. Distillation still takes place using wood-fired alambic stills — a labor-intensive method that delivers deep and characterful spirits. Every bottle is filled and labeled by hand, giving each release a personal, artisanal touch.

Tasting Note

Nose

The nose is elegant and refined, offering aromas of candied orange, white peach, and delicate floral notes. Beneath that, soft layers of marzipan, vanilla, and a touch of tobacco emerge.

Palate

The entry is smooth and lightly creamy, with flavors of apricot, honey, and gently toasted oak. A hint of clove and orange zest brings brightness and tension. The balance between fruit, spice, and wood is exemplary.

Finish

The finish is delicate yet persistent, with lingering notes of dried fruit, warm spice, and a pleasantly drying oak character. A graceful conclusion to a finely crafted Armagnac.
