The Year 1969

1969 will forever be remembered as the year Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon before a billion television viewers, while Woodstock brought together four hundred thousand revellers. In Gascony, the vines of that legendary year yielded a harvest whose eaux-de-vie, aged for more than five decades in Gascon oak casks, have developed a complex and harmonious profile, ranging from prunes to noble spices.
