1965 Armagnac: born the year of Satisfaction, Doctor Zhivago, and the first spacewalk
1965 - four events that marked a generation. On March 18, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov performed history's first extravehicular activity: he spent 12 minutes in the vacuum of space, tethered to his craft—an exploit that ushered humanity into the space age. On the airwaves, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones exploded that summer—a global No. 1, an anthem for the rebellion of an entire generation, and one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in music history. In cinema, David Lean's Doctor Zhivago, starring Omar Sharif and Julie Christie, became one of the greatest romantic epics in world cinema—a phenomenal success across the globe. In sports, the unknown Italian Felice Gimondi won the Tour de France at 22, right under the noses of the favorites—an absolute surprise. Muhammad Ali defeated Sonny Liston in the 1st round in exactly one minute. In Gascony, the vines produced a vintage of beautiful expression and freshness in that spirit of passion. After 61 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1965 Armagnacs offer a complex and refined aromatic profile: prunes, vanilla, silky rancio, and noble spices. A vintage full of character.
