Chateau De Laubade Bas Armagnac 1997 Vintage 70cl

Chateau De Laubade Bas Armagnac 1997 Vintage

A beautifully mature expression of Gascony’s celebrated Armagnac tradition, this 1997 is a single-vintage spirit made entirely from grapes grown on the Chateau de Laubade estate. Distilled separately by grape variety and matured in the house’s own Gascon oak casks, it reflects decades of careful craftsmanship, patient ageing and meticulous traceability.

From the 1997 vintage, this Armagnac has developed a wonderfully layered character, combining ripe orchard fruit and citrus with toasted nuts, vanilla and subtle pastry notes. Mature, elegant and deeply personal, it is particularly appealing as a gift connected to a birth year or memorable anniversary.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Rich amber-gold, reflecting its long maturation in Gascon oak.
• Nose: Fragrant and inviting, with apricot, citrus fruit, almond and delicate toasted-bread aromas.
• Palate: Full and complex, revealing toasted hazelnut, vanilla and layers of mature fruit with a smooth, warming texture.
• Finish: Persistent and elegant, leaving lingering notes of toasted nuts, vanilla and gently spiced oak.
