Notify me when this product is available:

Wine Region: Armagnac - France

Grape: Folle Blanche

Tasting notes: Beautiful gold colour, brilliant. A very fresh nose for this 1991 vintage, with notes of ripe fruits (quince, apples, white peach) and fine spices (vanilla, mint, gingerbread). Superb. In the mouth, we feel this freshness again with aromas of mint, liquorice and white pepper, dried fruit (fig, raisin). Very long in the mouth.

About the winery:
As the son of acclaimed chef Jean Darroze, Francis had a natural inclination to the culinary arts and a taste for tradition and authenticity. He channelled this into a passioned search for quality individual estate Armagnacs, starting as a trader and producer of vintage Bas-Armagnacs in 1974. With the utmost respect for the spirit, alcohol levels are reduced through years of evaporation through ageing — never through dilution with water. Blending and colouring agents are also prohibited. And to prolong the ageing process, the Armagnac is only bottled when ordered. The business is now in the hands of Francis' son Marc, a trained oenologist.
