1952 Armagnac: born in the momentum of the "Trente Glorieuses"
1952 - France was rebuilding with tremendous energy. The "Trente Glorieuses" (Thirty Glorious Years) were in full swing, television was making its debut in French homes, and in London, the young Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. In Gascony, the vines produced a vintage of high quality, full of the serenity and optimism of the post-war era. After 74 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1952 Armagnacs offer a rich and balanced aromatic profile: candied prunes, deep vanilla, silky rancio, and sweet spices. A vintage at its peak.
