This unique batch was produced in the Fins Bois region decades ago. It has aged in a small cellar on beaten earth, in very old 600 liters barrels, on which the word “Narbonne” (a city in the south of France) was curiously engraved. Probably some wine casks in a past life.

The nose is soft and elegant, with hints of pastries, which is representative of these very, very old MMC.
