Chateau de Laubade
Chateau de Laubade is situated in the heart of the Bas Armagnac region: the largest estate of the 'appelation'. On 107 hectares of vines the different types of 'terroir' bring great nobility to the eaux de vie. The estate is planted with four grape varieties: Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard, Baco. Each of these grape varieties has its own characteristics and the different mixes produces both typical and more complex eaux de vie.
Since 1896, Chateau Laubade has been one of the few estates to specialize in vintage Armagnac. Noted for its finesse, depth of flavor and dark, strong color, this Armagnac is considered one of the finest in the world and is known to be the favorite of several of Europe's royal families. Because only selected grapes are used in the production of Chateau Laubade's Armagnac, annual production is limited to under 40,000 bottles, and in those years where the grapes do not come meet the Chateau's standards, a vintage is not declared.
