The wine

A Darroze Armagnac distilled in 1942 and bottled in 1989 after ageing in oak casks. It was produced at the Lusson estate in in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, which is known for its tawny sands (sables fauves), a typical soil type for this area of the appellation. The 42-hectare estate has 15 hectares of vines, with the rest composed of forest or land for growing grains, corn in particular.

The distillery 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 – this collection is now available at iDealwine.
