Bas-Armagnac - 70cl 40°
Château de Laubade
In a luxury gift box

A word from Cave de France: Aged for over 35 years, Extra Single Estate is the jewel of Château de Laubade, representing the quintessence of their blending artistry. This exceptional Armagnac is the result of a meticulous selection of approximately 50 eaux-de-vie, most of which have benefited from a long stay in oak barrels, to offer rare depth and complexity. Its deep, almost intense mahogany color reflects this prolonged and careful aging.

On the nose, this Bas Armagnac stands out with a rich and strikingly intense aromatic palette, releasing notes of ripe prune, licorice, toasted bread, as well as nuances of walnut, hazelnut, and cocoa that add a warm and gourmet dimension.
On the palate, Extra Single Estate unfolds with refined power, exceptional richness, and a persistent length that envelops the palate with noble and distinguished flavors. The complexity of its aromas evolves elegantly, offering a multi-phase tasting experience.

Best enjoyed with a dessert based on nuts and chocolate to enhance its dried fruit and cocoa aromas, Extra Single Estate reveals its full depth when followed by a strong coffee, perfect for extending this privileged tasting moment.

A little history...
The "Château de Laubade" house was founded in 1870 in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region, in Gers, Gascony. Today, it is one of the most renowned and respected estates for Armagnac production. The château itself is a magnificent example of Gascon architecture surrounded by vineyards, with an estate spanning 105 hectares, exclusively dedicated to cultivating the grape varieties used to produce this traditional spirit.

For four generations, the house has been in the hands of the Lesgourgues family, who acquired the estate in 1974. The members of the Lesgourgues family have been committed to preserving traditions while modernizing certain aspects of production. Their approach is focused on constant excellence, relying on ancient know-how but with a keen eye on developments and best practices in viticulture.

Maison Laubade is also distinguished by its artisanal production methods. For example, it uses Gascon oak barrels, renowned for their unique influence on the aging of eaux-de-vie. In addition, it cultivates its own vines with emblematic local grape varieties such as Baco, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Folle Blanche, which ensures the quality and authenticity of its armagnacs. The estate also uses an Armagnac still for continuous distillation, a traditional technique of the region that helps develop the aromatic complexity of the eaux-de-vie.

Another notable aspect is their commitment to sustainability: Château de Laubade is recognized for its environmentally friendly practices, such as the use of natural compost from vine residues to fertilize the soil.
Today, Château de Laubade is famous for its vintage armagnacs, which sometimes age for several decades in barrels before being bottled. This ability to preserve and vintage great armagnacs allows the house to offer unique and rare eaux-de-vie. Laubade bottles are often prized by collectors and Armagnac enthusiasts worldwide.
