Duc de Loussac VSOP Bas Armagnac

Name: Duc de Loussac VSOP Bas Armagnac - Vinumlector
SKU: FR0859

The Duc de Loussac Armagnac gets its origins back in the 17th century. The Marquise de Montespan, one of the most famous mistresses of the Sun King Louis XIV, was born in the Château of Lussac in the Gers departement. In 1679, the Sun King conferred the Duc de Loussac title to the Marquise de Montespan, who had just given him a 7th son. The Duc de Loussac is a purely fictional character, inspired by the magnificent Marquise de Montespan, and the very real “Duché de Loussac” title given by the King of France.

Duc de Loussac VSOP is a blend of armagnacs from 5 to 8 years old.
