Armagnac Monluc Carafe XO EXTRA Premium

The award-winning Armagnac Monluc Carafe XO Extra Premium is a fine example of what outstanding Armagnac represents. Taking home a gold medal at the Concours Générale Agricole 2020 - it has received recognition for its excellence. This XO Extra underwent the maturation process in both old and new Limousin oak casks. For the first 10 years the eaux-de-vie soaked up the oak from old casks and then spent a further 24 months in new casks. The result is a refined Armagnac with unparalleled elegance and finesse. Its strong and rich aromas are representative of a well-aged blend of eaux-de-vie like this premium XO.
