Darroze Armagnac 1985

A lover of his South-West and its centuries-old tradition, this cult chef of Landes gastronomy introduced his son Francis to the culinary arts, great wines, and fine Gascon eaux-de-vie. It was by cultivating this taste for tradition, for authenticity, that Francis Darroze, by traveling with his father, a connoisseur and demanding oenophile, this famous Bas-Armagnac terroir and tasting hidden treasures deep in small estates, became a true discoverer of propriétaire 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 for all these years in search of this liquid gold that they offer you.

Treasure hunters first of all by taste, but also to satisfy a loyal clientele in search of quality eaux-de-vie, 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 antique dealer initiated by his father to make these treasures accessible to us.
