Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1981

Ageing 1981 vintage, harvest year
Terroir Ténarèze

A vintage is the eau-de-vie of a single harvest year, and the 1981 marks a date with precision: a birth, wedding or anniversary celebrated in 1981, or a nod to a generation.

Offered in 70 cl, at 43% vol., it suits an enthusiast's cellar as well as a personal gift.
