Armagnac Laterrade - Bas-Armagnac - 1975 - Domaine de Mounégeat - Brut de Fût - 40%
Laterrade is a brand of exceptional independent bottling, specializing in authentic and vintage Armagnac. Vincent Laterrade, originally from Vic-Fezensac, the historic heart of the Ténarèze in Armagnac, is a passionate former sommelier. He has been able to discover and promote small local producers by partnering with two enthusiasts to create L’Encantada, a unique project dedicated to selecting rare and vintage armagnacs from confidential and preserved estates. A keen hunter of exceptional Armagnac, Vincent Laterrade has built a prestigious collection with remarkable vintages. He then partnered with the Fitte family, owners of Château de Herrebouc in Vic-Fezensac, thus strengthening his expertise and network. His quest led him to find barrels of vintages of exceptional age, ranging from 10 to over 50 years. His philosophy is clear: to offer vintage armagnacs from a single estate, without any alcohol reduction, blending, or manipulation, to guarantee total purity and authenticity. After the end of this partnership and the recovery of precious stocks, Vincent convinced Stéphane de Luze to allow him to rehabilitate an abandoned barn on the Château de Briat estate, transformed into a dedicated cellar. From now on, the barrels belong exclusively to Vincent and are bottled under the "Laterrade" label. The approach is local and eco-responsible: the spirits are produced only by artisans from the region, the bottles made by a local glassmaker, the labels printed on regional rag paper, the wax is French, and the boxes made from wood from French forests. This approach guarantees high-end quality and a controlled ecological footprint.
This exceptional Bas-Armagnac was distilled in 1975 at Domaine de Mounégeat, nestled in the heart of Houga, an emblematic terroir of Armagnac quality and tradition.
