DARROZE Armagnac "Chateau de La Pouche" 1984 - 70cl
$274.00
Wine Region: Armagnac - France
Grape: 100% baco
Tasting notes: Attractive gold color with brown tints. Very expressive nose, fairly classic for a 40-year-old Armagnac: walnuts, gingerbread, liquorice, tobacco, leather. The second nose is fresher, with slightly mentholated aromas. The Armagnac is full-bodied on the palate, very well balanced
between tannins, alcohol and aromas (quince jam, licorice, dried fig). Very long on the palate.
Matured in oak cask 41 years
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.
