Armagnac Darroze 2001

A lover of his South-West and its ancient tradition, this cult chef of Landes gastronomy initiated his son Francis to the culinary art, fine wines, and exquisite Gascon eaux-de-vie. It was by cultivating this taste for tradition and authenticity that Francis Darroze, exploring with his father, an astute and demanding oenophile, this famous terroir of Bas-Armagnac and tasting hidden treasures deep within small estates, became a true scout for proprietor 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 Darroze, 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 by taste, but also to satisfy a loyal clientele looking for quality eaux-de-vie, 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 custodian, sometimes of antiquarian initiated by his father, to make these treasures accessible to us.
