Darroze L'unique Assemblage 50 Armagnac 700ml

A 50th anniversary release nodding to the history of the house of Darroze. Each component represents a significant year for the family in terms of the distillery s development, while adding a character peculiar to each vintage. It begins in 1974, the year Francis Darroze founded his project. Fifty year old distillates from this vintage bestow complex aromas associated with lengthy aging and bring tannic structure as well as dried fruits and spice. 1982 and 1985 were two hot years and the Armagnacs included from these harvests add volume and breadth. 

1994 distillates represent a turning point for the cellars with less use of toasted oak, resulting in brighter fruit notes. Finally, the inclusion of Armagnacs distilled in 2002 and 2011, being relatively young eaux-de-vie, complete the harmony by contributing the requisite freshness. Baco and Ugni Blanc grape varieties are included in the blend in almost identical proportions (45%) with a very small complement of Folle Blanche. Bottled at what is presumably natural strength, the beautiful rectangular wax-sealed decanter will serve to heighten what promises to be a very special brandy experience.
