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.
