Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1985

  • Ageing 1985 vintage, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

For a birth, a wedding or a 1985 birthday, nothing beats an eau-de-vie harvested the same year. This vintage comes from a single harvest, that of 1985, and the appellation allows it only after ten years of age. It is part of the collection of vintages that Château de Monluc, in Saint-Puy in the Gers, holds from 1963 to 2016. A 70 cl Armagnac-Ténarèze at 43% vol., it is presented in a wooden case, ready to be given as a gift or to join a personal cellar.
