Tasting Darroze 30-Year-Old Armagnac 43% vol.
TASTING NOTES
This Darroze 30-year-old Armagnac blend, life begins at 30, the age of maturity. Fresh fruit has transformed into dried and candied fruit, the spicy character asserts itself, the first "rancio" aromas appear, and the alcohol is perfectly integrated. The youthful ardor fades. This Grand Assemblage is the perfect example of a magnificent balance found in brandies of this age.

The Darroze selection, Les Grands Assemblages
For over 20 years, Marc Darroze has dedicated much energy and passion to Armagnac. In contact with winegrowers, distillers, coopers, and Gascon breeders, Marc Darroze has been able to grasp all the diversity and nobility of our profession.
In the family home, the aging of his Armagnacs has become precise and refined, and his expertise is now complete.
This Darroze 30-year-old Armagnac is offered in a 70 cl bottle in a wooden box.
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, for authenticity, that Francis Darroze, while traveling with his father, an informed and demanding oenophile, through this famous Bas-Armagnac terroir and tasting treasures hidden in the depths of small estates, became a true discoverer of Armagnacs from individual producers.
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 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 antique dealer, initiated by his father to make these treasures accessible to us.
