Darroze Biologic 4 years - Armagnac Darroze

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 47.5% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Organically grown Folle Blanche is the foundation of this four-year-old Bas-Armagnac. This delicate grape variety requires particular attention in the vineyard and is central to the Biologic range. The Armagnac matures in oak casks, combining pronounced fruit notes with a fine, silky structure.

The September 2026 bottling comes at 47.5% in a 0.7-litre bottle with Darroze kraft cardboard gift packaging. It is bottled without chill filtration or added colouring.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The fine, delicate nose brings together candied orange peel, dried apricots, prunes and mango with vanilla and subtle spices. Honey, brioche and almonds complement the fruity bouquet.
• Palate: The Armagnac feels rounded on the palate despite its young age. Light, silky tannins give it a fine structure, while the fruit aromas of the nose and the spice notes also appear on the palate.
• Finish: The finish is fresh and fruity, accompanied by a light spiciness.

Distillery/Bottler:

The Darroze story began at Jean Darroze’s restaurant in Villeneuve-de-Marsan. There, his son Francis discovered the cuisine, wines and spirits of Gascony. In the late 1960s, Francis expanded his visits to producers in Bas-Armagnac and began maturing and bottling selected spirits himself. Marc Darroze joined the business in 1994 and now runs the family house.

Darroze works with around twenty estates; the selected spirits continue to mature in its cellars in Roquefort and Labastide d’Armagnac. The house’s approach includes traditional continuous distillation in a short column still fitted with plates and the use of regional oak. Sugar, tannin additives and caramel are not used to accelerate maturation.
