1937 Armagnac: Born in the shadow of Guernica
1937 — Paris hosts the World’s Fair on the Champ-de-Mars, while Pablo Picasso paints Guernica in response to the bombings of the Spanish Civil War. Europe trembles: Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco are driving the fringes of catastrophe. In Gascony, against this backdrop of extreme tension, winemakers distill in silence, with the faith of those who believe in the endurance of beauty. After 89 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1937 Armagnacs are living witnesses to an era on the brink of the abyss: rancio of historical intensity, ultra-candied prunes, incense, ancient resin, and spices from another age. Artifacts of the interwar period.
