Francis Darroze is the founder of Les Grands Armagnacs Darroze, the leading specialist selection house for single-domain, single-vintage Bas-Armagnac. Expressions bottled under the Francis Darroze name represent the same sourcing model as the main Darroze range individual farming estates, single distillation years, no blending across domaines or vintages with some expressions carrying the founder's name directly rather than the house label.

The production approach is identical to the Darroze negociant range: sourcing, ageing, and bottling armagnac that retains documentary provenance to the estate and vintage year. See also the Darroze collection for the full range of single-domain expressions.
