Darroze 20 Year Armagnac
$129.99
A beautiful gift for any fan of French spirits, from a wonderful small, family-owned Bas Armagnac producer that has been leading the way since 1974! ! "Francis and Marc Darroze roam the estates on the best terroirs, that of the Bas Armagnac and its tawny sands, to select, cultivate and bottle the most beautiful discoveries. Around 30 estates contribute to this extraordinary collection," according to the Darroze website. "After 10 years in contact with the oak, Armagnac starts to take on the aromas of ageing. The fruit that is still present, is accompanied by the first aromas of soft spices such as liquorice and cinnamon. Still quite fiery, this eau de vie will become more complex after a few minutes breathing in your glass."

"For several generations, the Darroze family has scoured Gascony in the Grands Crus centre of the Bas Armagnac region...Each age on the bottle indicates the age of the youngest Armagnac in the blend," according to the Darroze website. "Maturity begins at 30. The fresh fruit is transformed into dried and candied fruit, the spicy character asserts itself, the first aromas of "rancio" appear and the alcohol is perfectly mellow. The fiery youth softens and relents. This Grand Assemblage is the perfect example of magnificent balance that one finds in eaux de vie of this age."
