1875: Before Phylloxera

The 1875 vintage is one of the last great vintages produced before phylloxera devastated French vineyards. These spirits therefore come from pre-phylloxera vines—a unique characteristic that gives them extraordinary historical and aromatic value. Extremely rare, they represent the ultimate testament to French viticulture that has now disappeared.
