An exceptional, mature single domaine Armagnac, crafted by the Darroze family – one of the most renowned masters of the Bas-Armagnac region, who for over seven decades have perfected the art of precise distillation and long maturation. This edition is an authentic Domaine de la Boubee distillate, distilled in 1993 and aged for over three decades in oak casks, reaching the perfect balance between fruitiness, oxidative maturity, and subtle spicy elegance.
The Domaine de la Boubee estate is located near Castelnau-d’Auzan, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, where the “sables fauves” sandy soils lend the spirit a distinctive smoothness, depth, and mineral nuance. This terroir produces Armagnacs known for their clean structure, longevity, and aromatic harmony.
On the nose, it reveals layers of dried plums, figs, orange peel, and toffee caramel, intertwined with notes of tobacco, honey, vanilla, spices, and delicate oak. The bouquet is rich, mature, and yet vibrant – full of depth and refined elegance.
On the palate, it is rich, complex, and silky-textured, unfolding with dried fruit, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, honey, and oak spice. Gradually, nuances of nuts, tobacco, and gentle smoke emerge, leading into a warm, long, and harmonious finish.
This is a classic, well-aged Bas-Armagnac, expressing both the terroir of Domaine de la Boubee and the mastery of the Darroze family. Domaine de la Boubee 1993 is a collector’s edition, created for true Armagnac connoisseurs – balanced, deep, and refined, made for slow, contemplative enjoyment.
