A single-estate Armagnac from the 1978 vintage, matured over time into a balanced and classically styled expression. Extended ageing has shaped a spirit of depth, composure, and elegance.
The nose shows dried fruits, nuts, and subtle tobacco notes, while the palate is rounded and smooth, finishing long with gentle spice warmth. Ideal for slow appreciation.
The story of this family Armagnac began with Jean Darroze – a renowned and passionate regional chef. Together with his son Francis, and inspired by their family’s culinary tradition, he started collecting Armagnacs from various estates across the region. Later, Francis’s son Marc joined his father, and together they became the famous “Treasure Hunters,” as one French author called them – tireless explorers of the secrets behind this golden spirit.
Today, the company is led by Marc. Darroze family Armagnacs are recognised as some of the most highly regarded in the world.
