Darroze Bas-Armagnac “Domaine le Tuc” 1979
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.

Beautiful golden color with amber tints. The nose is pungent, intense. Aromas of prune, orange peel and dried fig accompany the fine spices (pepper, nutmeg). On the palate, the tannins are round and supple and these same spicy and fruity notes are present (liquorice, clove, white pepper). Beautiful length.
