LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1994
- Cask Gascon pedunculate oak, 420-litre casks
This 1994 vintage comes exclusively from the 1994 harvest, at the Sorbets estate, which the Lesgourgues family has been running for three generations. The house describes it as a brilliant mahogany robe with a fruity nose where greengage plum stands out; on the palate, chocolate, a light oakiness and butter bring a great deal of softness. A rich, indulgent profile that will also appeal to those discovering Armagnac for the first time. Bottled at the château, in 70 cl at 40% vol.: a beautiful choice for birthdays or wedding anniversaries in 1994.
