Château de Laubade Bas Armagnac 2006

Château de Laubade is one of Bas Armagnac’s most esteemed producers, renowned for estate-grown Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Baco, and Colombard, traditional single-distillation on alembic stills, and patient maturation in custom Gascon oak.

The 2006 vintage captures the distillery’s more contemporary style — still deeply rooted in tradition but with fresher, more fruit-forward energy compared to older decades. Distilled from grapes harvested in a warm, generous growing season, the eaux-de-vie matured in Laubade’s historic cellars, developing structure and subtle complexity while retaining youthful brightness.

Nose:
Fresh plum and apricot alongside honeycomb, vanilla, and gentle oak spice. Subtle layers of citrus peel, dried flower, and caramelized sugar add complexity as it opens.

Palate:
Silky and expressive with flavours of ripe orchard fruit, golden raisins, and soft caramel. Mid-palate reveals baking spice, toasted oak, and a touch of cocoa. The youthful vibrancy of the vintage blends seamlessly with the emerging depth from long maturation.

Finish:
Long, warm, and elegantly spiced with lingering notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and polished oak.
