Producer Story

With a deep love for his native Southwest and its secular tradition, Jean Darroze, iconic cook of Landes gastronomy, introduced his son Francis to the culinary arts, fine wines and the fine eaux-de-vie of Gascony.
From the end of the 60s, Francis Darroze intensifies his visits to the lands of Bas Armagnac and selects, matures and bottles his most treasured discoveries. Maison Armagnac Darroze is born and the adventure starts.
Today, around 30 domains are contributing to this extraordinary collection, perfecting its aging in cellars in both Roquefort and Labastide d’Armagnac. Guided by his visionary instinct, Francis Darroze realized that Armagnac can be worked just like wine: with a unique domain, no blending and in small and perfectly traceable batches. His son Marc is now at the helm.
