LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1992

• Cask Gascony pedunculate oak, 420-litre casks
• Grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco

In its 2022 press release, the house describes this 1992 vintage as a traditional expression, bringing together its four grape varieties: Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco. It is presented with an intense yet delicate nose of candied fruits and toasted aromas, and a delicate palate where fresh and dried fruits take centre stage, with plums and raisins leading the way. This eau-de-vie comes from a single harvest, aged in Gascony oak before being bottled at Sorbets. 70 cl, 40% vol., a fitting choice for a birth or wedding anniversary from 1992.

the vintage

The 1992 vintage

The 1992 vintage seduces with its deep amber colour and golden highlights. The nose unfolds aromas of dried fruits, apricot, quince and prune, with notes of tobacco and leather that carry through on the palate in perfect harmony with the nose, a mark of the fine balance acquired over years of ageing.
