Chateau de Laubade 1983

Château de Laubade was established in 1870 in the heart of Gascony, the original home of distillation in France, and has been owned by the Lesgourgues family since 1974. Their 105 hectares of vineyards are situated in the top growth Bas Armagnac region. Here the grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Baco, Colombard and Folle Blanche are cultivated using organic methods, before being vinified and then distilled at the château. With vintages and ageing stock dating back to 1855, Château de Laubade is renowned in the French and export markets for producing the highest quality Armagnac and is a benchmark for the region.
