clés des ducs Armagnac 1992

  • Ageing Millésime 1992
  • Cask Gascon black oak

This Armagnac Millésime 1992 from Clés des Ducs comes from Panjas, in the Gers, where the house has been distilling since 1774. Its continuous distillation at low temperature, in a copper Armagnac still, is followed by ageing in Gascon black oak casks, with a measured toast to preserve finesse. Bottled at 40° and offered in a 70 cl bottle, this vintage makes a natural gift for a birth, a wedding or a birthday, especially for those born in 1992. A bottle to give, then to open when the day comes.
