LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1984
- Cask Gascon pedunculate oak, 420-litre casks
At Laubade, traceability is a house rule: the bottling date and batch number are printed on every bottle. This 1984 vintage comes exclusively from the 1984 harvest, distilled on the estate and then aged in Gascon pedunculate oak casks. It is described as vanilla-forward and finely wooded, opening up beautifully on the finish with a fine balance between power and sweetness. Bottled at 40% vol. in a 70 cl bottle, it makes a wonderful gift to mark a birth, a meeting or a wedding from 1984.
