Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1993

  • Ageing 1993 vintage, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

A 1993 Armagnac tells the story of a single harvest, that of one specific year: this is what makes a vintage. It suits births, weddings and anniversaries of 1993, or anyone who wishes to open a bottle from their own year. It joins the collection that Château de Monluc, in Saint-Puy in the Gers, keeps from 1963 to 2016, and carries the Armagnac-Ténarèze appellation. Presented in a 70 cl bottle at 43% vol., it is kept as a memento and shared on the occasions that matter.
