2009 Armagnac: born in the year of Obama, Barca’s sextuple, and Avatar

2009 – four events that left their mark on a generation. On January 20, Barack Obama took office as the 44th president of the United States—the first African-American president in history, inaugurated before 1.8 million people in Washington amidst a wave of global hope. Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona achieved a historic sextuple: La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup—never before had a club won all six major titles in the same year. Lionel Messi was at the peak of his first great season. In Berlin, at the World Athletics Championships, Usain Bolt shattered the 100m world record with a time of 9.58 seconds—a superhuman feat that still seems unreachable years later. In December, James Cameron’s Avatar was released in 3D: an absolute visual revolution that grossed $2.9 billion at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in history. Lady Gaga released "Poker Face" and established herself as the queen of electro-pop. In Gascony, the vines produced a fresh and expressive vintage. After 17 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 2009 Armagnacs offer a young and fruity aromatic profile: flowers, fresh fruit, and light spices. A vintage still in its prime.
