The story of Darroze, one of the most renowned producers of Armagnac in France, begins around a table in the quaint town of Villeneuve-de-Marsan. It was here that Jean Darroze, a masterful cook and proud native of Southwest France, shared his love for the region's rich culinary heritage with his son Francis. Together, they explored the traditional flavors and aromas of Gascony, including the fine eaux-de-vie and wines that have made this region famous.
In the late 1960s, Francis Darroze took his passion for Armagnac to the next level by embarking on a journey to Bas Armagnac. Here, he hand-selected the finest eaux-de-vie and carefully matured them in the cellars of Roquefort and Labastide d'Armagnac. This marked the beginning of Maison Armagnac Darroze, a family business dedicated to producing exceptional Armagnacs.
Today, Darroze boasts an extraordinary collection of around thirty domains, each contributing to the unique character and depth of their Armagnacs. From rare and historical pieces to eaux-de-vie straight from the still, every batch is meticulously selected and aged for over 20 years by Marc Darroze, who shares the same values and passion as his grandfather and father.
What sets Darroze apart is their dedication to crafting Armagnacs like fine wines, using a single domain and no blending. This vision was passed down from Francis to his son Marc, who now leads the company with the same devotion and instinct. Together, they offer a diverse range of rare Armagnacs that showcase the craftsmanship of local producers. Darroze's commitment to quality and tradition has solidified its position as a leader in the world of Armagnac.
