1962 Armagnac: born the year the world teetered on the brink of catastrophe
1962 - the Cuban Missile Crisis shook the world for 13 days, Algeria gained independence after a painful war, Marilyn Monroe passed away, and the Beatles recorded their first single. In Gascony, far from this turbulence, the vines produced a vintage of beautiful maturity and elegance. After 64 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1962 Armagnacs offer a silky and complex aromatic profile: candied prunes, vanilla, sweet spices, and a well-defined rancio. A vintage steeped in history.
