The grapes for this armagnac were harvested in 1949, just a few years after the end of WWII. Although produced by a negociant, only the finest armagnac eaux de vie are selected to be aged in vintage casks. Still in excellent condition, this bottle is wrapped in cellophane and comes in its original wooden presentation box.
