Monluc Armagnac Vintage 2005

  • Ageing 2005 vintage, harvest year
  • Terroir Ténarèze

A vintage is the eau-de-vie of a single harvest year, here 2005. The appellation allows it only from ten years of age. This bottle joins the collection that Château de Monluc, in Saint-Puy in the Gers, holds from 1963 to 2016. It carries the Armagnac-Ténarèze appellation and is bottled at 43% vol. in a 70 cl format. To mark a birth, a wedding or an anniversary from 2005, or to complete a cellar of vintages, it is a dated landmark, as easy to give as to keep.
