Laubade 2006 Bas - Armagnac 750ml

Founded in 1870 in Sorbets, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, Château de Laubade has been owned by the Lesgourgues family since 1974 and is now run by its third generation. Its 105 hectares of organically farmed vines sit in a single block around the château, making it one of the largest single-estate Armagnac producers, with a vintage library dating back to 1855. Everything is done in-house, from estate-grown grapes, each variety distilled separately, to aging in casks the château coopers itself from Gascon oak. This 2006 is a true single-vintage Armagnac with about two decades in wood. It’s bright and expressive, with apricot, damson plum and rose on the nose, then cinnamon, star anise and black tea on the palate, finishing long, elegant and gently spiced. A beautiful after-dinner pour and a perfect 20th birthday or anniversary gift.
