The Story of Domaine Boingnères

Domaine Boingnères, run by Martine Lafitte in Le Frêche, in the Landes area of Bas-Armagnac, is one of the region’s most respected estates. “Cépages Nobles” refers to the noble grapes in the blend, roughly one-third each of Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche. This vintage was distilled in 1985 on the domaine’s own copper alambic armagnacais, built for the estate in 1975, and aged in used 420-liter French oak casks for about 36 years.
