Francis Darroze 1982 Chateau de Lahitte Bas - Armagnac 750ml
"Nice amber color with golden tints. The nose is very fruity with complex flavors of dry apricot, orange peel, acacia honey and infusion (mint, verbena). On the palate, the balance is superb. Tanins are silky. We feel again fruity aromas that never end. Distillery Notes.

This was the original basis for the business: single vintage, cask-strength, single domain Armagnacs bottled to order. No additives are used for the Collection series, and none of these Armagnacs are ever blended. Each is marked with the month and year of bottling so that the buyer knows exactly how long the spirit rested in barrel (once bottled, the ageing process stops).

Marc has partnered with a high-quality mobile distiller, who makes the rounds in a truck after harvest much as mobile distillers would in the bygone days of horse and wagon. Thus Marc both buys barrels of aged Armagnac from farmers like his father did, and he buys the just-distilled white spirits from a given farm and ages it himself. Typically, a new spirit will go into a new barrel in the drier Darroze cellar (Marc has separate ageing cellars), two conditions that encourage faster evaporation and oxidation. "
