Tasting note
Darroze 1993 is a single-estate Bas Armagnac from the 1993 harvest, matured and bottled by the Darroze house at Roquefort in the Landes.
Bas Armagnac is the westernmost district of the region, sitting on the sandy soils at the edge of the Landes forest, and it is the only district Darroze works with. Francis Darroze started buying and ageing grower spirit there in the early 1970s; his son Marc has run it since 1994. Nothing is added to the vintage releases beyond, at most, water in the younger ones, and each bottle carries the year of distillation and the year it was drawn from cask.
Drink it neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass after a meal.

Darroze Armagnac
The story begins around a table with Jean Darroze at his restaurant in Villeneuve-de-Marsan. With a deep love for his native Southwest and its ancient traditions, this iconic cook of Landes gastronomy introduces his son Francis to the culinary arts, fine wines, and the exquisite eaux-de-vie of Gascony.
From the late 1960s, Francis Darroze intensifies his visits to the lands of Bas Armagnac, selecting, maturing, and bottling his most treasured discoveries. Maison Armagnac Darroze is born, and the adventure begins.
The Vineyard
Today, around thirty estates contribute to this extraordinary collection, perfecting its aging process in cellars in both Roquefort and Labastide d’Armagnac.
Rare and historical pieces, as well as eaux-de-vie freshly distilled by small producers or renowned itinerant distillers, have been selected and overseen for over 20 years by Marc Darroze. He shares the same values and passion as his grandfather Jean and his father Francis.
Local Craftsmanship
Guided by his visionary instinct, Francis Darroze soon realised that Armagnac could be crafted much like wine: with a unique domain, no blending, and in small, perfectly traceable batches. He shared this vision and dedication with his son Marc, who now leads Armagnacs Darroze. Today, they offer a wide variety of rare Armagnacs that highlight the work of local craftsmen.
