1971 Armagnac: born during the "Trente Glorieuses"

1971 — the "Trente Glorieuses" (thirty glorious years of economic growth) are drawing to a close, May '68 is still on everyone's minds, and France is experiencing a period of profound social transformation. In Gascony, the 1971 vintage yielded grapes of great maturity and elegance. After 55 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1971 vintage Armagnacs develop aromas of remarkable depth: candied prunes, rich vanilla, a distinct rancio, sweet spices, and touches of fine leather. A vintage at its peak.
