Reportedly, French producers of fine spirits were warned of advancing German troops during World War I. They were advised to hide their best and oldest stocks to avoid destruction. It is believed that one such producer died later in the war before divulging the location of his barrels and were ultimately discovered c. 1980. Those barrels were used for this bottling.
