Armagnac 2000: first vintage of the new millennium, born in the year of Gladiator, Trezeguet's golden goal, and Putin

2000 - the first vintage of the 21st century, filled with seminal events. Ridley Scott's Gladiator was released in May with Russell Crowe as Maximus: Best Picture Oscar, "Are you not entertained?" became a cinema legend, and the gladiator film and ancient epic saw a powerful comeback. In July, the Euro 2000 final pitted France against Italy in Rotterdam: 1-1 after 90 minutes. In extra time, Sylvain Wiltord first equalized, then David Trezeguet scored the golden goal with a left-footed strike under the bar - France became European champion for the first time in its history following the 1998 world title. A historic double. The Sydney Olympics in September are considered the most successful Games of the modern era. On the airwaves, Eminem released "Stan" - a masterpiece of rap storytelling, a portrait of an obsessive fan addressing his idol: one of the most influential songs of the decade, the word "stan" even entered the English dictionary. U2 released "Beautiful Day," a luminous anthem. In March, the dot-com bubble burst: hundreds of dot-com start-ups collapsed, billions of dollars evaporated - the beginning of the first great crisis of the digital age. Vladimir Putin was elected president of Russia in March. In November, the ISS welcomed its first permanent occupants - humanity began living in space permanently. In Gascony, the vines produced a fruity and expressive vintage. After 26 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 2000 Armagnacs offer a young and accessible aromatic profile: fresh fruit, flowers, light vanilla, and emerging spices. A vintage full of vivacity to celebrate the beginnings of life.
