Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac Vintage 1979 Cask Strenth 700ml

Château de Laubade was built in 1870 in the heart of the noblest area of the AOC Bas Armagnac and is today the premier Armagnac property. Today, the third generation is actively involved in the quest of excellence of the property, composed of 105 hectares of single vineyard in Bas Armagnac, to make Château de Laubade an undisputed reference among the Armagnac category.

 Tradional grape varieties including Ugni-Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco (the most emblematic) go into producing this armagnac. Sustainable agriculture: organic manure is produced by 600 ewes.

Aromas of dried fig, peel, and bitter cocoa, followed by wood shavings, fresh leather, and pepper. The sedate introduction gives way to a robust, peppery punch, with cinnamon and vanilla accented by a thread of sweet dried fruits. The finish is delightfully chewy, supported by an appealing fruit/oak balance. A mature, big-boned style that keeps some of the fire of youth.
