Intense and flattering nose of green plum, quince, almond fresh. The aeration reveals the finesse then gives way to intense but not very aggressive esters, an almost feminine sensation of very ripe fruits, almost overripe. The attack on the palate is round, oily and fruity.

After 10 years in contact with the oak, Armagnac starts to take on the aromas of aging. The fruit that is still present, is accompanied by the first aromas of soft spices such as licorice and cinnamon. Still quite fiery, this eau de vie will become more complex after a few minutes of breathing in your glass.

At 40 years, Armagnac’s style is definitely apparent. The quality of the oak used is very important, as the right use of a quality barrel will bring complexity and finesse to the Armagnac; elements that can be judged and appreciated after 40 years in contact with the wood.

The 1929 vintage, Marc Darroze tells us, surprises by its freshness despite its great age. To the aromas of coffee, cocoa, honey and leather that can be found in an armagnac of this age are added notes of plums and figs, giving it a superb balance.

Finesse, authenticity, rarity, elegance are all words that characterize Darroze Luxe Gascon presented in crystal decanters
