1917 Armagnac: distilled one year before the Armistice
1917 - the Great War enters its deadliest phase. The Russian Revolution overthrows the Tsar, the United States enters the war. In the vineyards of the Gers, a few winemakers continue to distill despite everything. After 109 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1917 Armagnacs carry all the gravity of this pivotal year: rancio of historical intensity, incense, ancient resin, rare spices.
