A 2001, 100% Folle Blanche vintage of Domaine Boingeners, a Bas Armagnac producer reknowned for having some of the most incredible spirit in France. This bottling has one of the longest finishes I have seen in an Armagnac for a long time, with a refreshingly bright flavour profile that allows all of the richer notes of pastries and stonefruit drizzled with caramel. This is a dram to sit on for a while, as it will grow in complexity the longer it sits in the glass.
In the year 2007, Domaine Boingnères celebrated its 200th anniversary. The estate was acquired on June 20, 1807 by Jean Boingnères, an ancestor of proprietor Martine Lafitte. Boingneres is one of the benchmarks of Bas-Armagnac, with spirit of exceedingly high quality and a more recent focus on 100% Folle Blanche Armagnac. Limited availability in Australia, with most allocations going directly to restaurants or bars.
