Marcel Trépout Armagnac Vintage 1973

  • Ageing 1973 vintage, harvest year
  • Cask French oak cask

It joins the Marcel Trépout house collection, whose Armagnacs originate at Château Notre Dame and whose vintages reach far back into the 20th century. Aged in French oak casks, it is offered in a 70 cl bottle at 40% vol. A gift that keeps, and that is shared on the chosen date.
