Grape varieties : Ugni blanc 60%, Baco 40%
* Regulations stipulate that an Armagnac must be aged at least one year to qualify as VS.
Tasting notes
A nose of spice and blonde caramel, with nuances of quince paste, toast and cinnamon. On the palate, peppery orange zest evolves into even more caramel alongside roasted apples. A finish of chocolate and liquorice.
Tasting recommendations
Our VS is the ideal companion for terrines and flambés. Its liveliness and freshness can be appreciated in cocktails, or simply straight-up as an aperitif, with or without ice, or after coffee at the end of a meal.
VSOP
Our VSOP is aged for 5 to 7 years*. It is characterised by a supple texture combined with a remarkable freshness and offers a nice balance between the liveliness of a youthful eau-de-vie and the complexity afforded by barrel ageing.
Aging 5 to 7 years*, 40° alc.
Grape varieties: Ugni blanc 60%, Baco 40%
* Regulations stipulate that an Armagnac may be labelled VSOP after at least four years of ageing.
Tasting notes
A deep amber colour. A lively nose, both ripe and floral which gives off an almost minty freshness. The attack is round, and its intensity increases with notes of oaky spices with hints of fresh mint. The finish is enriched with nuances of liquorice and macerated fruit.
Tasting recommendations
Can be enjoyed at room temperature or on the rocks as an aperitif or after a meal, neat or in a cocktail. It also pairs well with Slavic, Indian, or Asian gastronomy.
XO
The XO is a wonderful illustration of a traditional Bas-Armagnacs at Domaine Tariquet. It is a blend of eaux-de-vies with an average age of 15 years*. The result is an Armagnac that is supple and complex, combining finesse with power. The tannins are smooth, a magnificent marriage between the wood of the barrel and the fruit.

Tasting notes
An amber colour. A heady nose of dried fruits and quince paste alongside notes of dried flowers. As it airs, nuances of coconut begin to develop. The attack is fleshy and honeyed. On the palate, a beautiful mix of fruit and oak which opens to accents of prunes, almonds and rancio. The lengthy finish is slightly toasted with a subtle hint of leather.
Tasting recommendations

LE LÉGENDAIRE
“In this year 1683, the Sieur de Tariquet built a cellar with the aim of distilling his wine so he could create the precious liquid called ‘Aygue Ardente’. He presented to the magistrate of our good King Louis the fourteenth, gold and silver coins so that the tax could be paid.”
Such is the legend. The “Aygue Ardente” has become eau-de-vie and is aged in the same historic cellar, slowly gaining complexity in our French oak barrels. Le Légendaire is our tribute to this distant creator.
Full of freshness and finesse, Le Légendaire is one of the flagship blends of Domaine Tariquet.

Tasting notes
A delicate golden hue. A nose of Tarte Tatin and orange blossom which, when given some air, takes on notes of toffee. The attack is fresh, supple, and nervous with flavours of blonde caramel and liquorice. The palate blossoms with intense and dynamic notes of roasted fruit, orange zest and exotic spices (nutmeg, grey pepper, cinnamon). A wonderfully smooth finish.
