70-Year-Old Armagnac: The 1956 Vintage According to CAP Vintage

1956, a Vintage of Absolute Rarity

The 1956 vintage is one of the rarest of the 20th century: the great frost of February 1956 devastated a large part of the Gascon vineyard, drastically reducing production volumes. The few barrels that survived yielded, after 70 years of aging, Armagnacs of extraordinary complexity and depth: notes of tobacco, coffee, old leather, cocoa, and candied fruits, with an interminable finish.
