Bas-Armagnac Château de Lahitte (46.5°) Darroze 1986

The wine

This Bas-Armagnac is golden in colour with hints of deep red, as well as an aromatic bouquet carried by notes of candied fruit, cacao, tobacco and liquorice. To taste, its buttery and ample texture makes way for varied notes of gentle spices and pepper. This is a unique drink with a long finish.

About the Producer Lahitte

Château Lahitte belongs to the Darroze family. Who hasn't heard of the chef Jean Darroze? An emblematic figure of Landes gastronomy, this south-western chef has passed on his passion for cooking, fine wine, and local spirits to his son Francis Darroze. The latter quickly developed a sophisticated palate and, from the 1950s, began searching for lesser well-known Armagnacs. This project went so well that, in the 1970s, he had a cellar dedicated to ageing built. Next in line was his son, Marc, who continued this tradition of seeking liquid gold – this collection is now available at iDealwine.
