  • Ageing Millésime 1973
  • Cask Gascon black oak

This Armagnac Millésime 1973 from Clés des Ducs bears a single year, the one you want to celebrate: a birth, a wedding, a birthday. Coming from the house born in Panjas, in the Gers, it is the result of a continuous distillation at low temperature in a copper Armagnac still, followed by ageing in Gascon black oak casks. Bottled at 40°, it is presented in an Exception 70 cl bottle with a cardboard gift box, ready to give. A gift full of meaning for anyone who was born or married in 1973.
