Sempé Armagnac Vintage 1976

A 1976 harvest, to mark a date that matters: a birth, a birthday or a wedding anniversary from that year. Since 1934, the Sempé house has been enriching its collection of vintages, and its cellar masters select for each one the casks that respect the founder's triptych: aroma, roundness, length. This Bas-Armagnac comes in a 70 cl Milady bottle at 40% vol., supplied in a case. A gift that speaks straight away to anyone born in 1976, and that is opened when the day comes, at the table, among loved ones.

the vintage

The 1976 Vintage

1976 saw one of the most remarkable droughts of the century, with the months of April through August exceptionally dry and hot across the whole of France. A summer of such intensity concentrates the sugars and brings an early harvest; in Gascony as elsewhere, this year remains a strong climatic reference point, even though its precise character for Armagnac has not been the subject of any specific documentation found to date.
