1904 Armagnac: born the year of the founding of FIFA and the Entente Cordiale

1904 - a year of foundations that changed the world. On May 21, FIFA was founded in Paris by seven European nations - the official birth of organized world football, a sport that would go on to become the most popular on the planet. The same year, France and the United Kingdom signed the Entente Cordiale, putting an end to centuries of Franco-British rivalry and laying the foundations for the alliance that would hold through the two World Wars. In Asia, the Russo-Japanese War raged - the first time in modern history that an Asian power defeated a European power on the battlefield, a shock that shook colonial certainties. In cinema, the 7th art was just 9 years old: the Lumière brothers invented the cinematograph in 1895, and the first filmed stories were beginning to emerge with Porter's The Great Train Robbery. On the stages of Broadway, George M. Cohan created Give My Regards to Broadway - the birth of the American musical. In Gascony, at the height of the Belle Époque, winemakers distilled in the serenity of a world that believed itself eternal. After 122 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1904 Armagnacs are artifacts of the world before: rancio of absolute historical depth, sacred incense, ancient resin. Living relics of the Belle Époque.
