1932 Armagnac: distilled in the heart of the global crisis
1932 - the Great Depression is in full swing. Hitler is on the verge of taking power in Germany, Roosevelt is elected President of the United States on the promise of the New Deal, and the entire world is suffering from mass unemployment. In Gascony, despite the surrounding misery, winegrowers continue their ancestral labor with the faith of those who believe in the endurance of beauty. After 94 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1932 Armagnacs are artifacts of a dark era: deep rancio, ultra-candied prunes, incense, rare spices. Survivors of history.

Why is 1932 Armagnac so rare?
