LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1993

Cask Gascon pedunculate oak, 420-litre casks

In 2015, Laubade was one of the first three Armagnac houses to receive the French state label Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant. This 1993 vintage reflects that expertise: a single harvest, distilled on the estate, then patiently aged in 420-litre casks. The house describes candied fruit, coffee and well-integrated oak on the nose; on the palate, fresh and candied fruit are nicely balanced, leaving a beautiful aromatic persistence. A 70 cl bottle at 40% vol., a fine gift for those born in 1993.

The year 1993

Vintage good

1993 will be remembered as the year the World Wide Web was officially born and the Maastricht Treaty came into force, establishing the European Union. In Gascony, the vines yielded a vintage of fine concentration. After more than thirty years of ageing in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie display deep aromas of prune, liquorice and cocoa, now at their peak.
