Chateau De Laubade Bas Armagnac 1995 Vintage

An exceptional single-vintage expression from one of the most prestigious estates in the Armagnac region, the Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac 1995 represents the pinnacle of time-honoured craftsmanship and Gascon tradition. Hailing from Laubade’s esteemed Collection Celebration, this distinguished release showcases the house’s mastery in producing long-aged, terroir-driven Armagnac of unparalleled complexity.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Baco, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche grapes - varietals known for their capacity to age gracefully - the 1995 vintage has been patiently matured in traditional Gascony oak casks for nearly three decades. This extended ageing process allows the spirit to develop a richly nuanced character, full of depth, elegance, and aromatic intrigue.

Each bottle is marked with its precise bottling date, offering a rare transparency and traceability that highlights the unique maturation journey of this vintage. Presented in a handsome wooden gift box, it is a fitting tribute to the quality within, making it an exceptional choice for collectors, aficionados, and celebratory gifting - particularly for those marking a milestone from 1995.

• On the nose, this Armagnac exudes opulence: stewed prunes, dried figs, and candied orange peel unfold alongside hints of vanilla, polished wood, and gentle baking spice. The aromatic profile is both warm and inviting, promising a deeply rewarding tasting experience.
• The palate is full-bodied and impressively structured. Dark fruits, such as prune and fig, are complemented by layers of dark caramel, roasted coffee beans, and sweet tobacco, all beautifully balanced by the elegant tannins imparted by the oak casks.
• A touch of nutmeg, cocoa, and toasted almonds adds further complexity, evolving seamlessly into a long, lingering finish.

Versatile in pairing and exceptional on its own, this vintage Armagnac lends itself perfectly to refined indulgence. Try it with dark chocolate desserts - especially those featuring caramel or espresso - for a decadent harmony. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses like Comte or Roquefort, where the spirit’s deep umami and spice elevate each bite. For the ultimate tasting experience, enjoy it alongside a fine cigar or duck confit, allowing the Armagnac’s luxurious layers to complement the richness of the fare.

Whether sipped in celebration or savoured slowly by the fire, the Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac 1995 is a timeless expression of excellence - rich in history, complexity, and enduring charm.
