Darroze
Bas-Armagnac (Roquefort, Landes) · Est. 1974
Founded in 1974 in Roquefort by Francis Darroze — a sommelier from a Michelin-starred Landes restaurant family who decided Bas-Armagnac deserved the single-estate, single-vintage treatment given to Burgundy. Rather than blend, Darroze ages cask-strength spirit from around 30 small grower-estates separately under their own names, year by year. The Roquefort cellars hold one of the deepest vintage Bas-Armagnac stocks anywhere in France. Now run by Francis's son Marc, oenologist, since 1996.
