Tasting notes

For several generations, the Darroze family has scoured Gascony in the Grands Crus centre of the Bas Armagnac region. Thousands of centuries-old treasures are held in stock at the Darroze house. This diversity in the crus, the years, the grape varieties, and the styles have allowed Marc Darroze to work on this range known as " Les Grands Assemblages " (The Great Blends). Chosen for their complementary characteristics, the selected Armagnacs in each blend are of different ages. Each age on the bottle indicates the age of the youngest Armagnac in the blend. After 10 years in contact with the oak, this bright amber 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 vanilla flavours, with touches of cinnamon and clove. Still quite fiery, this eau de vie will become more complex after a few minutes of breathing in your glass.

About this armagnac

Darroze is a family-owned business that has been producing Armagnac for over 200 years. The Les Grands Assemblage 12-year-old Armagnac is a blend of different vintages, carefully selected and aged in oak barrels. The result is a complex and elegant spirit with notes of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruits.

Darroze is known for its traditional style of production, using only local grapes and distilling them in small copper stills. The Armagnac is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years, allowing the spirit to develop its unique character and depth. Darroze is one of the most respected Armagnac producers in the world, and the Les Grands Assemblage 12-year-old is a testament to their expertise and dedication to quality.

If you're looking for a truly special spirit, look no further than Darroze's Les Grands Assemblage 12-year-old Armagnac. With its complex flavor profile and long aging process, it's sure to be a hit with any connoisseur.
