Luxe Gascon 1936 by Darroze
Gascony, a region located between the Atlantic, the Pyrenees and the Garonne, has always maintained a particular art of living. This is based on a heritage of several centuries. Armagnac remains, of course, the perfect ambassador of this respected tradition. For more than 700 years, winegrowers, distillers, coopers, breeders, and cellar masters have given Armagnac all its nobility.
Luxury in Gascony, and in Armagnac, is fueled by deep-rooted values centered around sharing, transmission, respect for artisanal products, high standards, and excellence.
It is in this spirit that the DARROZE house sublimates its armagnacs from the finest terroirs.
From generation to generation, old Armagnacs are carefully kept in cellars, conditioned in demijohns (large glass bottles of 30 to 50 liters).
Wonderful Armagnacs, as rare as they are full of history.
Marc Darroze, driven by values of authenticity and excellence, wanted to sublimate some of these hidden treasures in these limited series entitled Luxe Gascon.
Luxury in Gascony is represented by the ability of producers and breeders to preserve Armagnacs for decades.
Finesse, authenticity, rarity, elegance are all words that characterize these Armagnacs conditioned in crystal decanters specially produced to sublimate these exceptional products.
Each batch is unique (only a few bottles), each decanter is numbered and accompanied by a certificate authenticating the origin and the respect of all the steps allowing to testify to this very particular luxury.

The Darroze selection, Les Grands Assemblages
For over 20 years, Marc Darroze has dedicated a lot of energy and passion to Armagnac. In contact with Gascon winegrowers, distillers, coopers and breeders, Marc Darroze has been able to appreciate all the diversity and nobility of our profession.
In the family home, the aging of his Armagnacs has become more precise and refined, and his expertise is now total.
This Armagnac Darroze Luxe Gascon 1936 is offered in a decanter and luxury box.
A lover of his South-West and its ancient tradition, this cult chef of Landaise gastronomy introduced his son Francis to the culinary arts, fine wines, and fine Gascon brandies. It is by cultivating this taste for tradition and authenticity that Francis Darroze, by exploring with his father, a discerning and demanding oenophile, this famous terroir of Bas-Armagnac and by tasting treasures hidden deep in small estates, became a true discoverer of owner-produced Armagnacs.
The first discoveries date back to the 1950s & 60s, then intensified from the 1970s with the construction of a cellar specifically dedicated to aging.
His son Marc, an oenologist by training, followed in his footsteps in 1996. Both complementary, both "treasure hunters", as Martine Nouet called them in her book "Eaux-de-vie: le guide", they have traveled the lands of Armagnac all these years in search of this liquid gold that they offer you.
Treasure hunters first out of taste, but also to satisfy a loyal clientele looking for quality brandies, they were together discoverers of Armagnacs. Today, Marc Darroze alone oversees the company, Francis Darroze having taken a well-deserved active retirement. He continues the work of guardian, sometimes initiated by his father, to make these treasures accessible to us.
