Distiller Notes
Darroze Domaine Couzzard Lassalle Armagnac is a brown color with golden tints. The nose is intense with the exceptional aromas of a well aged armagnac: coffee, toast, rancio, cloves and leather. On the palate, there is a perfect balance between the tannins (silky and velvety), the aromas (cocoa, tobacco) and the alcohol. Long on the palate.
Cardinal Vital Du Four claimed that it “cures gout and cankers, heals wounds of the skin … renders men joyous, preserves youth and retards senility.”
Armagnac is produced in the Gascony region of Southwest France and is among the earliest of spirits produced, prescribed over the last 700 years for a myriad of therapeutic benefits. Owing to its ancient heritage, the production method is much simpler than that of its cousin, Cognac, with just a single distillation through a column still prior to barrel aging. This yields a spirit that is generally more flavorful and fragrant than other Brandies.
