MARQUIS DE MONTESQUIOU 1989 Oxygène

The 1989 vintage stands out for its remarkable balance between vibrancy and maturity, revealing an elegant combination of floral and fruity nuances. A singular expression, both fresh and profound, showcasing the precision of time. 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.
