Monluc Armagnac Vintage 1999

  • Ageing 1999 vintage, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

An Armagnac from 1999 is given to mark a date: a birth, a wedding or a birthday tied to that year, or simply a nod to a generation. This eau-de-vie comes from a single harvest, that of 1999, which makes it a vintage in the strict sense, a status the appellation only allows from ten years of age. It joins the collection that Château de Monluc, in Saint-Puy, in the Gers, holds from 1963 to 2016. 70 cl bottle, Armagnac-Ténarèze at 43% vol., to give or to open for an occasion that matters.
