LAUBADE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1996

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

Drawn entirely from the 1996 harvest, this vintage was aged in the cellars of Château de Laubade, in Gascon pedunculate oak casks coopered on the estate. It is then bottled at the domaine, in Sorbets, at the heart of Bas-Armagnac. This 1996 Armagnac holds nothing back: finesse, balance and breadth in equal measure. Not to be missed.

The 1996 Vintage

Vintage grand

The year 1996 offered Gascony a fine balance between freshness and maturity. Spirits from this vintage stand out for their aromatic vivacity and elegance, with notes of fresh fruit, white flowers and hazelnut. After three decades of ageing in Gascon oak casks, they have developed hints of vanilla and gentle spice.
