1898: The Origins of the Belle Époque

The 1898 vintage falls within the early years of the reconstruction of French vineyards after the phylloxera devastation. Spirits preserved from this year are exceptional witnesses to a viticulture in full rebirth — brandies that have spent more than a century in the cellars of some great French houses.

Armagnac, Cognac, natural sweet wines: the richness of the 1898 vintage

The CAP Vintage selection for the 1898 vintage includes several exceptional appellations: Armagnac from Gascon Bas Armagnac, Cognac from Charentes, and natural sweet wines from Roussillon — Banyuls, Maury, and Rivesaltes. Each bottle is a unique piece, a rare testament to a terroir and a century-old expertise.

For collectors and connoisseurs of exceptional spirits

These historic spirits are intended for collectors and connoisseurs in search of absolute rarities. Each bottle is selected by the CAP Vintage team for its authenticity, its state of preservation, and the intrinsic quality of the brandy.
