Description

Château de Laubade is a renowned producer of Armagnac, a type of brandy that is produced in the Gascony region of France. The estate has a long and rich history, dating back to the early 19th century when it was founded by the Arton family. Today, the estate is owned by the Lesgourgues family, who have continued the tradition of producing high-quality Armagnac using traditional methods.

The Armagnac produced by Château de Laubade is made from a blend of different grape varieties, including Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Baco. The grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented in oak barrels for several weeks. After fermentation, the wine is distilled in copper stills, which are heated over an open flame. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 years, during which time it develops its characteristic flavour and aroma.

Château de Laubade produces a range of Armagnacs, each with its own unique character and flavour profile. The 12-year-old Armagnac is a particularly popular choice, thanks to its smooth and mellow taste. It has a deep amber colour and a complex aroma, with notes of vanilla, oak, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with flavours of caramel, toffee, and spice. It has a long and satisfying finish, with a hint of sweetness that lingers on the tongue.

Overall, Château de Laubade is a producer of exceptional Armagnac, with a long and proud history of traditional craftsmanship. Their 12-year-old Armagnac is a testament to their skill and expertise, and is sure to delight even the most discerning of brandy connoisseurs.
