Francis Darroze 12 years Of. Les Grands Assemblages

The wine

This Armagnac is a blend of Armagnacs produced in Bas-Armagnac and aged for at least 12 months. Unlike other Darroze bottlings, the Grands Assemblages use Armagnac from several estates. Various ages are found in the blend, from 8 year old Armagnac to 60 year old Armagnac.

About the Producer Darroze

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 – made form Ugni Blanc – which we are delighted to offer on iDealwine.
