1979 Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac (700ml)

Château de Laubade only releases vintage-dated Armagnacs after a minimum of 15 years of ageing. This one goes well beyond that, having been bottled in early 2023, approximately forty four years after it was distilled. Beautifully presented in a hardwood box, it will be the perfect gift for a 1979 anniversary of any kind.

More than eighty different vintages are currently being matured in Laubade’s cellars. The oldest vintage is from 1888. Each year tells a story dealing with the ongoing climate changes, cask quality and the cellar's temperature - all of which define the vintage identity. A culmination of rich know-how and dedication to quality from three generations, the Lesgourgues family continue to run their own 260 acre property. Planted to Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche & Baco, each variety is distilled seperately. Notably, Laubade remains alone in coopering their own Gascon oak casks. Sustainable agriculture is also the standard here (manure is produced by 600 ewes). 40% Alc./Vol. Very limited stocks.
