Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac Millesime 1987, 700ml

This is a single-vintage expression from Château de Laubade, the largest continuous-vineyard property in the Bas Armagnac region. Distilled exclusively from the 1987 harvest using traditional continuous Armagnac alembic stills, the spirit is crafted from a blend of Baco, Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard grapes. Aged individually for decades in 400-liter Gascon oak barrels, this single-year bottling was brought to strength at 40% ABV without blending across vintages.

Tasting Note:

Aroma: Warm and inviting with aromas of candied orange peel, rancio, and dried figs opening into toasted almonds, beeswax, and sweet oak spice.

Palate: Smooth and rich on the palate, showing balanced flavors of dark honey, stewed plum, and baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, supported by a gentle leatheriness.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of dark cocoa, persistent oak tannins, dried fruit, and a soft, lingering spice.
