Sempé Armagnac Vintage 1998

This Bas-Armagnac from the 1998 harvest belongs to the great collection of Sempé vintages, built up since 1934 in Aignan. Each year, the cellar masters select casks able to express the triptych dear to the founder: aroma, roundness, length. Presented in a 70 cl Milady bottle at 40% vol., it comes in its case, ready to be given. It is an obvious choice for someone born in 1998, to celebrate a birthday, a wedding or a milestone, or to complete a collection of vintages to be opened when the moment comes.

The year 1998

Vintage good

1998 will be remembered as the year France won the FIFA World Cup, with Zinédine Zidane scoring twice in the final. In Gascony, the vines yielded a vintage of fine freshness and vibrant fruit character. Aged for more than a quarter of a century in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie offer an approachable, youthful profile, combining candied fruits with white blossom.
