GASTON DE CASTELJAC COGNAC 1976

Ageing 1976 vintage, bottled in 70 cl
Cask Oak cask
Grape varieties Ugni Blanc

Crafted from Ugni Blanc, this 1976 vintage from Gaston de Casteljac is a Grande Champagne Cognac with an amber robe and mahogany highlights. The nose is fresh and elegant, opening on exotic fruits with spiced notes. The palate is supple and mellow, full and rounded, with fruit and spice in harmonious balance. The finish is long, carrying that same equilibrium through with considerable finesse. A Cognac of real character at 40%, best savoured slowly to uncover all its nuances, as a digestif or to mark a special occasion.

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.
