Key characteristics

About this armagnac

Darroze is a family-owned business that has been producing high-quality Armagnac for over 200 years. Armagnac is a type of brandy that is produced in the Armagnac region of France, made from a blend of different grape varieties including Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Folle Blanche. The Chateau de Gaube 1963 Collection is a blend of Armagnacs that were distilled in 1963 and aged in oak barrels for over 50 years, resulting in a rich, complex spirit with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and oak. It is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and pairs well with strong cheeses and dark chocolate.

Darroze is known for its commitment to traditional production methods and its use of high-quality ingredients. The company sources its grapes from small, family-owned vineyards in the Armagnac region, and only uses the best grapes for its Armagnacs. The distillation process is carefully monitored to ensure that the spirit retains its unique character and flavour.

Overall, the Chateau de Gaube 1963 Collection is a testament to Darroze's commitment to excellence and tradition. It is a must-try for anyone who appreciates high-quality spirits and the art of distillation.
