MARQUIS DE MONTESQUIOU 1976 Oxygène

The 1976 vintage is complex and profound, revealing aromas of candied citrus, tobacco and a hint of cocoa. It appeals to connoisseurs with its warm breadth and exceptional balance. The Oxygène collection celebrates time as the true craftsman of flavor. From distillation to maturation, each stage embodies patience, mastery and transmission. Slowly aged in oak casks, it breathes and gently oxidizes, developing complex aromas of dried fruits, spices and caramel. This ageing process refines texture and deepens the aromatic profile while softening sharper edges. Marquis de Montesquiou is a house founded in 1936 by the Montesquiou family, one of whose ancestors, d’Artagnan, inspired the legend of the Musketeers. Its know-how, passed down by only three cellar masters since 1955, is expressed through a rigorous selection of eaux-de-vie sourced from Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze.
