The region was decimated by the epic Phylloxera blight, but a few hectares of viable vines had survived the disease.\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Jean-Poerre Artaud \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; his father\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; purchased the estate in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1912\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. The family ran the château — planting and tending the vines through two world wars. For decades they sold their grapes on the wholesale market and bottled a portion into\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Wines\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Armagnacs\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; for themselves, family, and friends. In \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1972\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; they formalized their family business into a company for the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;production of estate Bas-Armagnac. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;If \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Domaine Tariquet Bas-Armagnac XO\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; were a Cognac it would be designated “Hors d’âge” — beyond age. The youngest Spirit in the bottle has aged \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;fifteen years\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; in oak which is far more than is required for the XO designation. Domaine Tariquet Bas-Armagnac XO sits at the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;top of the Château’s lineup\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. The Spirit is made from 60% Ugni Blanc and 40% Baco grapes — all estate grown on-site. The delicate combination delivers a supple palate and bracing aroma of baked bread.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass Corner:\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Bas-Armagnac is one of the three regions in France where Armagnac can be legally produced.
