Darroze Biologic 7 years - Armagnac Darroze

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 48% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Darroze Biologic is a seven-year-old Bas-Armagnac made from certified organically grown Baco, Colombard and Ugni Blanc grapes. The cuvée is bottled at 48%, with no added colouring and no chill filtration.

The Armagnac has a rich yellow colour with golden highlights. Pronounced spice notes combine with dried fruit and lightly toasted aromas. A little air in the glass allows its layered bouquet to open up fully. The bottle comes in kraft cardboard gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose is distinctly spicy, with pepper, clove and liquorice. Dried fig accompanies light toasted notes of toast and roasted walnuts. A little air allows the aromas to open up more fully.
• Palate: The Armagnac is round and supple on the palate. The tannins are clearly noticeable yet remain silky. Gingerbread and dried fruit accompany a harmonious balance of aromas, tannins and alcohol.
• Finish: The finish is long, with lingering dried fruit and gingerbread.

Distillery/Bottler:

Francis Darroze began selecting, ageing and bottling Armagnacs from small Gascon estates in the late 1960s. Today, Marc Darroze continues this work with spirits from around thirty estates. The Armagnacs mature in cellars in Roquefort and Labastide-d'Armagnac. The family story goes back to Jean Darroze's restaurant in Villeneuve-de-Marsan, where his son Francis discovered the wines and spirits of Gascony alongside its regional cuisine.

Darroze maintains long-term partnerships with regional producers. Local grape varieties, traditional continuous distillation in short plate columns and oak from the region are central to its approach. Sugar, added tannins and caramel are not used to accelerate maturation. The Biologic range focuses on the winegrowers' work with organically cultivated vines.
