FAQs For Chateau De Laubade Bas Armagnac 1985 Vintage

How should I store this armagnac?

Store upright in a cool, dark place away from temperature changes to preserve its long‑aged character.

How is it made?

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, distilling Baco and Folle Blanche grapes in traditional continuous stills before ageing the spirit in Gascony oak casks made from local forests. These casks, coopered on‑site, impart structure, spice and depth while allowing slow, graceful oxidation.

Over decades, the Armagnac develops concentration, aromatic complexity and textural richness. Each vintage is bottled only when the cellar master judges it to have reached its ideal expression, ensuring authenticity and exceptional quality.

What’s the best way to serve this vintage?

Serve at 18–20°C in a tulip glass to highlight its fruit, spice and oak aromatics.

Does this Armagnac age further in the bottle?

No - once bottled, its character remains stable.
