Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac Signature 42% 700ML

AGING 3 – 5 YEARS

Designed for mixology and bottled at 42% ABV, the Signature blend is delicious with natural tonic water, as an aperitif or after a meal. It has a seductive golden color and intense, expressive aromas.

The outstanding Signature bouquet features hints of fresh fruit, spices, vanilla, licorice, and tea, rounded off with subtle hints of ivy and linden blossom.
The initial impression on the palate is soft, evolving into more powerful flavors, with an expressive aftertaste featuring oaky, toasty notes.

HISTORY

The Lesgourgues family has been in the quest of
excellence for three generations at Château de
Laubade. Founded in 1870 in the heart of the Bas
Armagnac “terroir,” the noblest area of the Appellation,
this is today the premier Armagnac single-estate
property with 260 acres of vines.

VINEYARD

• 260 acres of single estate vineyard in Bas Armagnac.
• 4 traditionnal grape varietals: Ugni Blanc, Folle
Blanche, Colombard and Baco.
• Sustainable agriculture: organic manure produced by
600 ewes

CREATION

• Produced exclusively from the property’s grapes.
• ‘Home-made’ single continuous distillation, grape
varietal by grape varietal.
• Château de Laubade SIGNATURE is a blend of the
finest Ugni-Blanc and Folle Blanche eaux-de-vie with
some colombard and baco.
• A part of the blend was aged in “second fill” barrels
previously used to age dry white wines from the
Lesgourgues family GRAVES (Bordeaux) property:
Chateau Haut Selve. This contributes to the superb
smooth and velvety texture of Laubade Signature.
• Laubade Signature is released at 42% ABV for a
better balance between its floral & fruity nose and
its generous complexity in the mouth.

SERVING

Enjoy Laubade Signature neat as an aperitif or a
digestive. It’s also a very trendy pick as a cocktail base !

TASTING NOTES

«Golden color with brown glints and great brightness. Intense and rich nose of fresh
fruits: peach, apricot, plum. Spicy notes of vanilla and licorice with hints of ivy and
linden. Supple attack followed by a powerful evolution in the mouth with a wooden
and toasty finish. »
