1987 Armagnac: born two years before the fall of the Wall
1987 — Gorbachev launches Perestroika, the Black Monday stock market crash shakes Wall Street, and in France, the Chirac-Mitterrand cohabitation is in full swing. In Gascony, the vines produce a balanced and generous vintage, two years before the Berlin Wall falls. After 39 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1987 Armagnacs offer an accessible and complex aromatic profile: dried fruits, vanilla, sweet spices, and emerging rancio. A vintage at its peak.
