Armagnac 2003: The Vintage of the Historic Heatwave
2003 - the hottest summer in centuries hits France. The heatwave claims tens of thousands of victims, with thermometers exceeding 40 degrees in Gascony. But this extreme heat gives birth to grapes of rare concentration and maturity - an exceptional wine vintage for the entire southwest. In the same year, the United States invades Iraq and SARS spreads in Asia. After 23 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, the 2003 Armagnacs carry all the power and generosity of this extraordinary summer: very ripe candied fruit, honey, warm spices, deep vanilla, and remarkable roundness. A solar vintage.
