Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1979

Ageing vintage 1979, harvest year
Terroir Ténarèze

For a wedding celebrated in 1979, a birthday or simply the pleasure of opening a bottle from a specific year, this vintage finds its natural place. A vintage brings together eaux-de-vie from a single harvest, here that of 1979, and the appellation only permits it from ten years of age.
