80-Year-Old Armagnac: The 1946 Vintage by CAP Vintage

1946, the Year of Reconstruction

The 1946 vintage was born in a France recovering from World War II. In the Gers region, winegrowers resumed their work with renewed energy, producing brandies of beautiful quality. Eighty years of aging in oak barrels have given these Armagnacs exceptional complexity and depth: notes of tobacco, old leather, coffee, cocoa, candied fruits, and spices, with a remarkably long finish.

FAQ – 80-Year-Old Armagnac

Why is a 1946 Armagnac so rare? After 80 years in barrels, stocks are extremely limited. The angel's share (annual evaporation of about 2%) significantly reduces available volumes, making these bottles true historical rarities.
Can a 1946 Armagnac be given as an 80th birthday gift? Absolutely. It is one of the most moving gifts: a bottle that has lived through the same 80 years as its recipient, from the Liberation to today.
How should an 80-year-old Armagnac be stored? Store it upright, away from light and temperature variations. Once opened, consume it within 6 months to preserve its aromas.
