    Description Bas-Armagnac Unique Collection

    Estate

    Darroze is a benchmark name in the Armagnac world. Founded by Jean Darroze and developed by his son Francis, the house selects eaux-de-vie from the finest Bas-Armagnac terroirs. Renowned for their precise oak aging and uncompromising quality, Darroze focuses on vintage bottlings without blending. Each spirit reflects its exact provenance and vintage. Their artisanal and transparent approach has won wide acclaim.

    Vineyard

    Bas-Armagnac, located in the northwest part of the region, is considered the finest terroir for Armagnac. The sandy soils, known as "sables fauves", yield elegant and fruity eaux-de-vie. Vines are primarily Ugni Blanc, Baco, and Folle Blanche. Partner winegrowers follow sustainable agriculture practices. The oceanic climate ensures steady grape ripening and high-quality juice.

    Wine

    The 2003 vintage Bas-Armagnac from Darroze captures the pure expression of its origin and year. Aged over 15 years in oak, it shows remarkable aromatic complexity. No sugar, coloring or blends are added. Bottling is done manually without chill filtration. This is a cask-strength Armagnac in the pure Darroze style.

    Vintage

    2003 was marked by intense heat in southwest France. Early ripening yielded rich, dense and balanced distillates. This vintage often displays candied and toasted notes due to the warm year. Its spirits are highly concentrated with great aging potential. A clear reflection of a singular climatic year.

    Vinification & Aging

    Distillation is carried out in a traditional single-pass copper alembic. The spirit is aged in French oak barrels, often new at first then progressively older. Careful oxygenation and racking monitor the aging process. Oak enhances texture and complexity without overpowering the fruit. Each vintage is handled and aged separately.

    Grape Variety

    Ugni Blanc, Baco, Folle Blanche
