Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1989

  • Ageing vintage 1989, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

An Armagnac from the 1989 harvest suits the dates that matter: a birth, wedding or birthday celebrated in 1989, or a reunion around a year you share. A vintage is the eau-de-vie of a single harvest, which the appellation allows only from ten years of age. This one belongs to the collection that Château de Monluc, in Saint-Puy, in the Gers, keeps from 1963 to 2016. Offered in a 70 cl bottle at 43% vol., this Armagnac-Ténarèze is opened for the occasion, without haste, to mark the moment.
