1998 Armagnac: born the year France became world champions and Titanic

1998 - four events that marked an entire generation. In football, France won the World Cup at home on July 12th: Zinedine Zidane scored two headers in the final against Brazil, the Stade de France erupted, and the Champs-Élysées turned into a national celebration. On screens, James Cameron's Titanic won 11 Oscars, including Best Picture - the highest-grossing film in history at the time. On every airwave, the voice of Celine Dion with "My Heart Will Go On" was inescapable - the global hit of the year. And in a garage in Menlo Park, California, Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google - the digital revolution was underway. In Gascony, the vines produced a vintage of lovely freshness and beautiful fruit expression. After 28 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1998 Armagnacs offer a young and accessible aromatic profile: candied fruits, white flowers, light vanilla, and the beginnings of complexity. A vintage full of life and freshness.
