Laubade Bas Armagnac VSOP 40% +GBX

Château de Laubade V.S.O.P. is an approachable, refined Bas Armagnac that reflects the tradition and craftsmanship of the family house since 1870. The estate manages 105 hectares in the heart of Bas Armagnac and combines respect for the terroir with controlled, sustainable production. All grapes come from the estate’s own vineyards; distillation is carried out cépage by cépage on the property and the spirit is aged in carefully selected Gascogne oak casks.

The V.S.O.P. is a blended cuvée intended for pure drinking pleasure. The composition emphasizes Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche, alongside Colombard and the local, characterful Baco. Each lot is aged separately and the final blend benefits from an average maturation of 6 to 12 years, resulting in a balanced, approachable Armagnac with clear fruity and vanilla notes.

In the glass this V.S.O.P. shows a radiant golden yellow colour. The nose opens rich and inviting with ripe fruit, peach, apricot and plum, complemented by pastry-like nuances, vanilla and a fresh citrus note. Subtle spices and light toasted accents add extra depth.

On the palate the Armagnac is smooth and delicate with a steady development toward a pleasingly long finish where fruit, vanilla and roasted wood tones melt together.

Château de Laubade V.S.O.P. is exceptionally versatile: serve it as an elegant aperitif or as a warming digestif. It pairs excellently with a light dessert, cheeses, lightly sweetened strawberries or as an accompaniment to a cup of coffee. Serve at 16–18 °C in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromatic expression and fully reveal its soft, fruity freshness.
