LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2000

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

Drawn entirely from the harvest of 2000, this vintage was aged in the cellars of Château de Laubade, in Gascon pedunculate oak casks crafted on the estate. It was then bottled at the domaine in Sorbets, at the heart of Bas-Armagnac. The 2000 vintage develops notes of vanilla, candied fruit and well-integrated wood. On the palate, the sensation is one of pleasing softness. Ample and generous, it strikes a fine balance between fruit and evolved oak.

The year 2000

Vintage good

Aged for a quarter of a century in Gascon oak casks, these eaux-de-vie now present a youthful, lively profile, with fresh fruit, floral notes and a touch of vanilla.
