This favorite Darroze vintage, made from 100% Ugni Blanc, has been celebrated by numerous critics and experts over the years, and it still stands up beautifully. I tasted it at 36 years old (bottled in 2016), golden in color with a complex nose of fresh sugarcane (almost rhum agricole-like), almond paste, and evergreen forest. In the mouth, it’s autumnal, and veers toward Cognac-like elegance, with notes of smoke, spice and earth. The finish, however, is pure Ténarèze, long and dry, full of clay and salty minerality. This is a terrific value for one of the world’s finest spirits.

Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
