Darroze Grand Bas Armagnac Les Grands Assemblages 40 years

At 40 years, its style is unmistakable - the quality of the oak crucial in imparting complexity and finesse. Selected for their complementary characteristics, Marc Darroze's "Les Grands Assemblages" bring together eaux-de-vies of various ages. Mellowed in 400-litre barrels, anticipate sweet spices, candied fruits & a mix of rancio & orange, plus a nose of roasted hazelnuts and a fluid mouth.

Francis and Marc roamed Grand Bas Armagnac's exceptional estates to find treasures aging in rare, ancient barrels. Over 30 estates have contributed to this extraordinary collection, initially distilled by a reputed mobile distiller whose 'savings' are aged 15-50 years with no reduction, caramel colouring or water added.
