LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1982
- Cask Gascon pedunculate oak, 420-litre casks
- Grape varieties Baco, Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard
Drawn entirely from the 1982 harvest alone, this vintage has aged in the cellars of Château de Laubade, in Gascon pedunculate oak casks crafted on the estate. It is then bottled at the domaine, in Sorbets, at the heart of Bas-Armagnac. This 1982 Armagnac offers a nose of butter, vanilla and stewed prune, with a sense of suppleness and generous breadth. A must to discover.
