Darroze is a renowned spirits trading house, specializing in exceptional eaux-de-vie and armagnacs. The story of this family-run house is one of passion for craftsmanship, tradition and the relentless pursuit of quality.
The Darroze family has built its reputation on an incredible collection of Armagnacs from the region's finest estates. Each is matured in its own personal piece of oak; the name of the estate, the year of production and the bottling date guarantee this unique diversity. To pRéserver specificities, no blends of Domaines or vintages. So as not to betray the typicities, no "reduction" that would dilute not only the alcoholic strength but also the aromatic power and nuances of the terroir by adding "petites eaux".
The story goes back to the end of the 19th century, when Francis Darroze, a young man with a passion for spirits, began scouring the Armagnac region of southwest France for the best armagnac producers. He was one of the first to realize the importance of pRéserver exceptional quality eaux-de-vie, preserving their authenticity and terroir.

This 1967 vintage, born in the heart of the family-run Domaine in Cravancères, embodies all the depth and complexity that a great traditional Bas-Armagnac can offer.
Produced from 15 hectares of vines planted on sandy-clay soils, this blend of predominantly baco (80%) and ugni blanc (20%) has been continuously distilled to 56% by the expert hand of distiller Ponsola, then patiently aged in Gascon oak barrels.
La robe, with its deep brown and luminous gold highlights, announces a spirit of remarkable maturity.
The nose reveals an enveloping bouquet of melting chocolate, milk caramel, candied chestnuts, gingerbread, old leather and light tobacco.
On the palate, the balance is striking: the texture is fluid yet generous, with aromas of chocolate, crème caramel, toasted bread and sweet spices blending elegantly. The finish is persistent and surprisingly fresh, testifying to perfectly mastered ageing.
A precious vintage, preserved in an elegant black case, for lovers of spirits Rares and noble Gascon traditions.
