Hootch

Take advantage of it, not everyone has access to Armagnac by Maurice: organic (Demeter, AB, and Eurofeuille labels), artisanal, it is made by Maurice de Mandelaëre (Domaine de Saoubis), the only biodynamic Armagnac producer. Hootch is responsible for packaging and distributing this small-producer Armagnac with an alcohol content of 49.3%.

Production

100% Baco grape variety grown biodynamically in the Bas-Armagnac region, Armagnac de Maurice XO (Extra-Old) comes from a single barrel where it has been aged for 14 years. It is neither reduced nor filtered, and without coloring. No fertilizers or pesticides in the vineyards, no additives in the cellar. Neither reduced nor filtered, without coloring. Cuvée limited to 494 bottles.

Tasting

The Baco grape variety gives a beautiful complexity to the nose with aromas of vine flowers, bay leaf, spices, and exotic fruits. On the palate, there is great finesse and length with notes of vanilla, flan, tobacco, and flowers. Serve it as a digestif or a light pick-me-up, and you can even eat it with: pastries, desserts, fruits, or charcuterie such as peasant terrines. It will be served alongside beautiful poultry or roasted black Gascon pork.

Discover Armagnac

This alcohol, the oldest in France, is so much more than a drop to flavor a Landes tourtière or a prune ice cream (even if we love that too)! Armagnac is complex, deep, multidimensional, the pure fruit of its terroir, and Hootch gives you a great opportunity to discover it.
