Darroze Bas-Armagnac “Domaine de la Poste” 1975

The Darroze family are an artisan éleveurs of Bas-Armagnac. Francis Darroze realized that Armagnac can be crafted just like wine: with a unique domain, no blending, and in small and perfectly traceable batches. This vision and devotion he shared with his son Marc, today at the helm of Armagnacs Darroze, offering a great variety of rare Armagnacs that highlight the work of local craftsmen. This bottling from their unique collection is from a single vintage and a single domaine. Each Bas-Armagnac is strictly itself, with the name of the domain of origin, its vintage and the bottling date which tells its real age as eaux-de-vie stop aging once bottled.

Description: Much of the distillation at Domaine de Laposte in Tenareze was carried out in the 70s, which is why we propose several vintages from that period; all different, but all retaining that special character, due to both the terroir and the Faget family savoir-faire.

 

Yellow color with golden tints. The nose is very fine, typical of an armagnac produced in the Tenareze area, with light and delicate aromas of vanilla, linden, pear and dried fruit. This finesse is also present on the palate, thanks to the silky and delicate tanins. Some dried fruit aromas (almond, walnut) complete the bouquet.
