Montreur d'Ours (bear tamers) Bas-Armagnac

Montreur d'Ours is an atypical Bas-Armagnac - Hors d'Age - that blends 10 to 20 year old barrels of the Plant de Graisse, Ugni Blanc and Baco grape varieties.

This cuvée pays tribute the Grassa-Artaud's family's ancestors, originally from Ercé, a small village nestled in the mountains of Ariège, at the foot of the Pyrenées, who maintained the bear tamer tradition. In 1912, they acquired Domaine Tariquet in Gascony that had been producing Armagnac since 1683.

The Grassa family reimplanted the Plant de Graisse grape variety in 2001. It is an old variety, forgotten from the Armagnac area. It offers eaux-de-vie of surprising length on the palate, extraordinary fullness and remarkable elegance. Blended with Ugni Blance and Baco, it gains in subtlety and aromatic strength.
