MARQUIS DE MONTESQUIOU 20 ans Oxygène

The 20-year-old blend reflects a pursuit of excellence and singularity. It offers a rich aromatic palette, from toasted almonds to delicate honey, combining the intensity of long ageing with remarkable smoothness. It stands as a refined expression where tradition meets innovation. 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 enhances texture and aromatic depth while softening the spirit’s 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.
