clés des ducs Armagnac 1993

  • Ageing Vintage 1993
  • Cask Gascon black oak

This Armagnac Millésime 1993 from Clés des Ducs brings together eaux-de-vie from a single year, the year of a date that matters. Coming from the house of Panjas, in the Gers, it is distilled continuously, at low temperature, in a copper Armagnac still, then aged in Gascon black oak casks. Bottled at 40°, it comes in a 70 cl bottle. A ready-made gift for a birth, a wedding or an anniversary from 1993, to be opened when the time comes.
