Description

The color is a stunning gold with amber hues. The aroma is pungent and intense, with scents of prune, orange peels, and dry fig, accompanied by a blend of fine spices such as pepper and nutmeg. On the palate, the tannins are smooth and round, highlighting the same spicy and fruity flavors of licorice, clove, and white pepper. The finish is impressively long. Made from a blend of 50% baco and 50% Ungi Blanc, aged for 43 years in oak and bottled in April 2022 with a 49% ABV.

The bouquet is fine and offers delicate oaky notes of toast, tobacco, and warm honey, balanced by woody undertones of toasted bread, brown tobacco, butterscotch, and beeswax. Exceptionally well-crafted and harmonious on the palate, with a perfect balance of aromas, alcohol, and tannins, resulting in a long and

About The Producer

Francis and Marc Darroze roamed the estates on the best terroirs, that of the Grand Bas Armagnac and its tawny sands, to select, raise, and bottle the most beautiful discoveries. Around 30 estates contribute to this extraordinary collection that completes and perfects their aging in the Roquefort and Labastide dÕArmagnac cellars. Rare and ancient barrels, where the eaux-de-vies leave the alembic from a small property, distilled by a reputed mobile distiller and that demand several decades of subtle and careful aging in oak barrels for 15 to 50 years to express the qualities of the place and the vintage. No other Armagnac house can offer such diversity, and just from the fairly small area of Grand Bas Armagnac. The typical Armagnac farmer raises all the possible farm animals fed by many different crops plus a small vineyard the part production of which is distilled every year and aged in one or more barrels, which constitute the savings of the farm. A sick bull a dying horse or a tractor is repaired or replaced by the sale of a barrel. Multiply by the number of farms and years and you have the variety of the Darroze collection, so differentiated, because each farm is unique. Add to this no reduction, by water, only through aging, no caramel coloring, the date of distillation, and the date of bottling, because all that matters is the time spent in the barrel. Once in the glass, nothing changes, nothing improves. A 1890 Armagnac bottled in 1900, is no better than a 2007 bottled in 2017, but collectors do not want you to know!
