Marcel Trépout Armagnac Vintage 1969

  • Ageing 1969 vintage, harvest year
  • Cask French oak cask

An Armagnac from the 1969 harvest is a gift that carries a date: a birth, wedding or anniversary celebrated in 1969, or a nod to an entire generation. Marcel Trépout Armagnacs originate at Château Notre Dame, and the house keeps a collection of vintages reaching far back into the 20th century.

Presented in a 70 cl bottle at 40 % vol., it can be kept for an occasion or given to the person whose year it bears.
