Grape Of The Art - Pellehaut 1988 Armagnac-Ténarèze - 35 YO - 49.7% - 70cl -
This classic Armagnac showcases both richness and finesse. It reveals deep tertiary notes of dried stone fruits—apricots, mirabelles, quinces, and cherries—intertwined with darker aromas of fresh pastries and winter spices like cinnamon and dried orange peel. On the palate, this powerful and full-bodied Armagnac seduces with its silky, almost oily roundness. There’s a lovely sweetness of sultanas, balanced by the light bitterness of dried fruits and an elegant touch of fine cocoa. The never-ending finish leaves a delicious impression of dark chocolate, punctuated by subtle citrus notes.
Tasting conclusion from Roger’s blog: Daaamn that’s good! Dark, yet beautifully concentrated—it's indulgent, coating, fruity, candied, and well-balanced…
In short, a truly beautiful Armagnac. Well done!

Located on the rolling hills of Montréal-du-Gers, in the heart of Gascony, Domaine de Pellehaut has been family-owned for over 400 years. Today, brothers Martin and Mathieu Béraut carry on the legacy of producing top-quality Ténarèze Armagnac, known for its balance of structure and finesse. The estate covers over 300 hectares, with part of the vineyard dedicated to Armagnac production. Traditional grape varieties – Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Baco, and Colombard – are cultivated using sustainable viticulture practices, promoting soil health and biodiversity. All grapes are vinified on-site, ensuring full traceability. Distillation is carried out with a continuous copper Armagnac still, following ancestral techniques specific to the AOC. The eaux-de-vie are then aged slowly in Gascony oak casks, within thick-walled cellars that offer ideal conditions for long, harmonious maturation. The house style reveals rich notes of candied fruit, spices, and a lingering warmth of tobacco and wood. Pellehaut offers a complete range, from approachable VSOP and XO blends to rare vintage Armagnacs, each bottle reflecting its year and terroir with honesty and depth. As a flagship producer of Armagnac from Ténarèze, Domaine de Pellehaut blends time-honored craftsmanship with precision and character. Whether you're a curious beginner or seasoned connoisseur, a Pellehaut Armagnac offers a true taste of Southwest France.
“Grape of the Art” (GotA) is a project that showcases exceptional Armagnacs and Cognacs, bottled in single casks and without reduction, to satisfy rum and whisky lovers. The concept was born of a group of enthusiasts in Stuttgart who, after discovering the quality and diversity of Armagnacs, decided to devote themselves to this French eau-de-vie. Their aim is to reveal the hidden treasures of small producers by selecting rare, unaltered casks.
