Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1968

  • Ageing 1968 vintage, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

A 1968 Armagnac tells of a single harvest, that of one specific year, and this is what makes it such a personal gift: a birth, wedding or birthday celebrated in 1968, or simply a nod to a generation. A vintage is the eau-de-vie of a single harvest, which the appellation only allows after ten years of age.
