The family’s Armagnac story began with Jean Darroze — a renowned and passionate regional chef. Together with his son Francis, and while nurturing the family’s culinary journey, they began collecting Armagnacs from different estates across the region. Later, Francis’s son Marc joined his father, and together they became the famous “Treasure Hunters,” as one French writer called them — tireless explorers of the secrets behind this golden spirit.
Today, the company is led by Marc. The Darroze family Armagnacs are recognised as some of the finest and most highly regarded on the market.
