Excitons, pairs of electrons and holes, undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation at low temperatures. An important platform to study excitons is double-layer two-dimensional electron gases, with two parallel planes of electrons and holes separated by a thin insulating layer. Lowering this separation (d) strengthens the exciton binding energy, however, leads to the undesired interlayer tunneling, resulting in annihilation of excitons. Here, we report the observation of a sequences of robust exciton condensates (ECs) in double bilayer graphene twisted to ~ 10° with no insulating mid-layer. The large momentum mismatch between two graphene layers suppresses interlayer tunneling, reaching a d ~ 0.334 nm. Measuring the bulk and edge transport, we find incompressible states corresponding to ECs when both layers are in half-filled N = 0, 1 Landau levels (LLs). Theoretical calculations suggest that the low-energy charged excitation of ECs can be meron-antimeron or particle-hole pair, which relies on both LL index and carrier type. Our results establish a novel platform with extreme coupling strength for studying quantum bosonic phase.
