Darroze - Les Grands Assemblage - 8 yrs

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 has 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 different ages. Each age on the bottle indicates the age of the youngest Armagnac in the blend. This blend with very little wood influence, displays a predominance of fruity aromas, along with a variety of other flavour. This golden Armagnac is light and delicate, with aromatics of honey, fresh pears and peaches, and a light, creamy honey flavour that's mixed with faintly perfumed white flower and pear notes. A straightforward Armagnac that is highly strung but nevertheless smooth and enveloping.
