A rather interesting Armagnac, this particular bottled was released sometime in the 1970s. The Montesquiou family hasbeen making Armagnac since 1431 and is one of France's most prestigious Armagnac Houses. Prior to its acquisition by Pernod the company was run by Pierre de Montesquiou, who was a direct descendant of comte d'Artagnan (the man upon which the hero of 'The Three Musketeers' book was based).
