clés des ducs Armagnac 1987
- Ageing Vintage 1987
- Cask Gascon black oak
This 1987 vintage armagnac is for those looking for a gift tied to a date: a birth, a wedding, an anniversary. It comes from the house founded in 1774 in Panjas, in the Gers.

Bottled at 40° in a 70 cl bottle, it gives the person who receives it a specific year, to be opened on the day it takes on its full meaning.
