1981 Armagnac: Born in the year of the "alternance"
1981 — François Mitterrand is elected President of the Republic, MTV launches its music channel in the United States, and in Gascony, the vines produce grapes of beautiful maturity. After 45 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 1981 vintage Armagnacs offer a profile at full maturity: candied prunes, dark chocolate, pronounced rancio, fine leather, and sweet spices. A vintage at its peak.
