Bas-Armagnac Domaine de Rimaillo Darroze (70cl) 1980

The wine

To make this nectar, the Rimaillo domain favoured an Armagnac style heater and distillation consisted of only one heating to a degree of alcohol reaching up to 56°. This single-varietal Baco presents a beautiful, golden colour as well as an aromatic bouquet marked by intensely fruity notes like quince, citrus zest and stone fruits. And the evidence of its élevage in regional wood is found in the hints of gentle spices, a delicate woody taste and fine tannins.

About the Producer Rimaillo

Domaine Rimaillo 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.
