LABALLE ARMAGNAC ICE 3 YEARS 50 cl

  • Ageing Young blend, aged for a minimum of 3 years in cask
  • Cask Gascon black oak casks
  • Grape varieties 100% Ugni Blanc

Laballe Ice 3 Ans opens the collection with the energy of a young armagnac, aged for at least three years in Gascon black oak casks. Crafted from Ugni Blanc, it draws you in with an indulgent nose of fresh fruit, brioche and vanilla, leading to a fresh, lightly woody palate with hints of lemon and mint. The finish is round and soft, confirming this lively, approachable character. Designed to shake up convention, this armagnac is equally at home served neat, over ice or in a cocktail, whether as an aperitif or shared among friends. An ideal first step into the expertise of Domaine de Laballe, in the Landes, without the patina of older vintages.
