Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1975

  • Ageing vintage 1975, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

A vintage is the eau-de-vie of a single harvest, here that of 1975, and the appellation allows it only after ten years of age. This bottle belongs to the collection that the Monluc house keeps at Saint-Puy, in the Gers, from 1963 to 2016. An Armagnac-Ténarèze in a 70 cl bottle at 43% vol., it is meant for those whose story begins in 1975: a birth, a wedding or a birthday to mark with a precise date. A gift tied to a single year, to keep for a great occasion or to open in celebration of it.
