Darroze 1985 Armagnac

Darroze 1985 Armagnac is a vintage French Armagnac selected and bottled by the Darroze family. Darroze's vintage-focused approach preserves the individual identity of specific estates and vintages rather than blending different properties together. Because several distinct Darroze 1985 estate bottlings exist, the exact estate and appellation for this release should be confirmed against the Alberta SKU before being assigned.
