Marcel Trépout Armagnac Vintage 1945

• Ageing 1945 vintage, harvest year
• Cask French oak cask

A 1945 Armagnac is given to mark a specific date: a birth, wedding or anniversary celebrated in 1945, or a tribute to someone born that year. Marcel Trépout Armagnacs trace their origins to Château Notre Dame, where Marcel Trépout takes over the cellars of the Maison Daroux in the 1940s.

Presented in a 70 cl bottle at 40% vol., it joins the house's collection of vintages, which reaches far back into the 20th century.
