1931 Armagnac: Born in the Great Depression
1931 — the 1929 Wall Street Crash plunged the world into the worst economic crisis in modern history. Unemployment skyrocketed, banks collapsed, and yet, in Gascony, the winemakers continued their ancestral labor with indestructible faith. These 1931 vintage Armagnacs, aged for nearly 95 years in Gascon oak barrels, have survived the Great Depression, the Second World War, and all the upheavals of the 20th century. Rancio of extreme intensity, incense, ancient resin, spices of historical depth. Living artifacts of the interwar period.
