A Bas-Armagnac from the 1956 harvest, selected by the house of Sempé for those born in 1956.
the bottle
The 1956 harvest is intended first for those born that year, or for couples married in 1956 looking for a wedding anniversary gift. This Bas-Armagnac belongs to the great collection of Sempé vintages, built up since 1934 by successive cellar masters, attentive to Abel Sempé's triptych: aroma, roundness, length. It is 40% vol., in a 70 cl Milady bottle, and comes in its case, ready to give.
1956 is remembered in viticultural history as a year of severe ordeal: the cold wave of February froze vines down to the wood across a large part of the French vineyard. The yields of the subsequent harvest bore the mark of this damage, and several years were needed before certain plots returned to full production.
