Francis Derroze Les Grands Assemblages 12 Year Old
Aromas of light fruit and soft spices on the nose, ten year oak maturation has developed the texture. Although intense to begin with, a short period of aeration in the glass mellows the flavours and develops complexity.
About the Producer
Fruit is sourced from the Bas Armagnac Landais region, where the terroir has been heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean (the movement of the tides left a deposit of tidal sands on the soils) and the nearby Pyrenees mountain range. This combination creates perfect conditions for the unique production of high quality, very complex armagnacs, with amazing ageing potential.
The Darroze family has known these exceptional terroirs, estates and winegrowers for generations now, and throughout the years a veritable bond has grown between them.
