1977 Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac | 700ML

A single-vintage Bas-Armagnac distilled in 1977 at Château de Laubade and matured for decades in French oak. Long aging has shaped a spirit of depth, structure, and elegant rancio complexity while preserving the fruit-driven character typical of Bas-Armagnac. The profile shows balance between concentrated dried fruit, refined spice, and polished oak influence. A classic vintage expression reflecting estate-grown production and traditional craftsmanship.

1977 Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Dried prune, fig, and orange peel layered with vanilla bean and toasted hazelnut. Subtle leather, cocoa, and antique wood tones emerge with time.

Palate: Silky yet structured with caramelized plum, honeyed raisin, and roasted almond. Baking spices and fine oak tannins provide depth without overshadowing the fruit core.

Finish: Long and warming. Lingering dried fruit, gentle spice, and elegant rancio notes fade with refined persistence.

Distillery Information

Chateau de Laubade is an Armagnac producer based in Sorbets d'Armagnac, in the Bas Armagnac brandy appellation of South West France. The château is one of the few properties in Armagnac to grow the four traditional grape varieties of the appellation (Ugni Blanc, Baco, Colombard, and Folle Blanche), and is the largest producer of Baco. The château was built in 1870 and practices single distillation via a pot still, or alembic, that was installed in 1974 when the current owners, the Lesgourgues family, took over. The property boasts one of the largest inventories of its appellation, with Armagnacs dating back to before 1930. Château de Laubade has 105 hectares (260 acres) of vines that grow on sand and fine siliceous soil, known as "boulbenes" in the region. The château is the only Armagnac house to cooper its own barrels and uses oak from forests around the property in Gascony. The cellar master has access to seven different aging cellars for blending. Château de Laubade produces three distinct ranges of Armagnac. The Les Classiques range comprises the various aging tiers from the Extra to XO, the Intemporel (Hors d'Age) and the VSOP. The Les Hédonistes range includes the Bruts de Fût (effectively a cask-strength vintage bottling), the Intemporel No5 (an extra-aged version of the Intemporel) and the aromatic, Folle Blanche-based  La Blanche d'Armagnac.
