Bas-Armagnac Les Grands Assemblages 40 ans d'âge 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.

This is an Armagnac with a firm character. The oak used during its production carries great importance since it brings an aromatic complexity as well as a certain finesse to the bottle. With a dark, amber colour, it gives off aromas of delicate fruit, dried fruit and honey, rounded off with a hint of musk.
