Darroze 1991 Domaine De Lamarquette Bas Armagnac

100% Baco. Brown color, red tinges. The nose is very round, with aromas of chocolate, honey, beeswax, gingerbread. Magnifiicent. We find this opulence in the mouth, thanks to this aromatic complexity and thanks to the velvety tannins. Beautiful Armagnac. Distillery Notes

 20 years in oak casks, Bottled October 2020

48% ABV 

Marc has partnered with a high-quality mobile distiller, who makes the rounds in a truck after harvest much as mobile distillers would in the bygone days of horse and wagon. Thus Marc both buys barrels of aged Armagnac from farmers like his father did, and he buys the just-distilled white spirits from a given farm and ages it himself. Typically, a new spirit will go into a new barrel in the drier Darroze cellar (Marc has separate ageing cellars), two conditions that encourage faster evaporation and oxidation. After several years, this spirit is racked into an older barrel and moved to the more humid cellar, factors that naturally slow the maturation process.
