1936 Armagnac: Born in the turmoil of the interwar period
1936 — the year of the Popular Front, paid holidays, and great tensions in Europe. In the vineyards of the Gers, far from the political unrest, the grapes ripened with patience, giving birth to spirits of historical depth. After 90 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, a 1936 vintage Armagnac is a living witness to history: rancio of extreme intensity, incense, ancient resin, extremely rare spices, and millennial wood. An artifact of Gascon distillation.
