1957 Armagnac: Born in the Year of Sputnik and Europe
1957 — the USSR launches Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, ushering in the space age. In Rome, six nations sign the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community. In France, Brigitte Bardot embodies a new freedom and rock 'n' roll sweeps through the youth. In Gascony, the vines produce a vintage of beautiful elegance and great finesse. After 69 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1957 Armagnacs offer an aromatic profile of remarkable depth: silky rancio, candied prunes, deep vanilla, sweet spices, and fine leather. A vintage at the crossroads of tradition and modernity.
