Armagnac 1990 Darroze

A lover of his South-West and its ancient tradition, this cult chef of Landes gastronomy initiated his son Francis into the culinary arts, great wines, and fine Gascon brandies. It was by cultivating this taste for tradition and authenticity that Francis Darroze, by exploring with his father, an experienced and demanding oenophile, this famous terroir of Bas-Armagnac and by tasting hidden treasures in the depths of small estates, became a true scout of owner 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 crisscrossed the lands of Armagnac for 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 oversees the company alone, Francis Darroze having taken a well-deserved active retirement. He continues the work of guardian, sometimes of an antique dealer initiated by his father, to make these treasures accessible to us.
