Chateau Laballe Bas Armagnac Resistance Baco
In a new release, this vibrant, next-gen Armagnac takes its name from 2 things. A: the phylloxera-resistant Baco hybrid developed at the turn of the twentieth century and B: the fact that it makes a stand against those forces that would diminish Baco plantings in the region. Until the late 1970s, Baco remained the prime ingredient in Armagnac and while Ugni Blanc holds that position today, this variety—now exclusive to Armagnac country—has played an important role in the region’s identity; a role that Cyril Laballe wanted to commemorate with Résistance. So, made from 100% Baco grapes, in consultation with the trade, this unique bottling took three years to get just right and consists of a blend of three Armagnacs distilled in 2009, 2010 and 2012. The three eaux de vie spent their first year after distillation in the new 410-litre Chêne Noir Gascon barrels from Bartholomo (the last barrel maker in the Landes region) to develop texture and sweetness, and then the rest of aging in older barrels, bringing more earthy and savoury notes.
Maison Audry Cognac ART VSOP
THE EXPERIENCE OF ART, THE ART OF EXPERIENCE To enhance the most daring cocktail creations, we wanted to create a high quality VSOP cognac, in the Audry style. It seemed obvious to us to select batches with a more advanced age than the average VSOP, remaining faithful to our DNA, elegant and perfectly balanced. This is why our new ART AUDRY VSOP cognac is a blend of high quality eaux-de-vie lasting 6 to 7 years on average, aged exclusively in oak barrels in damp cellars. A spirit at 40° so its versatility can go wonderfully with the most daring creations. Why “ART AUDRY”? The works of Anne Lesca, accomplished ceramist and 5th generation of the Audry family naturally inspired us. One work aroused a particular emotion: it is an abstract painting, an assembly of bright colors and materials which seemed to us to perfectly illustrate the genesis of cognac, a blended eau-de-vie by its very essence. We therefore reinterpreted this work on our bottles in a bold format, applying as a particular finishing, a special filter to the label visible under black light. TASTING NOTES The look: intense and luminous golden hue. The nose: aromas of melted wood blend delicately with notes of vanilla and dried fruits. (apricot,almond, hazelnut). The mouth: subtle floral and fruity notes combine with vanilla, with great finesse. The finish offers a nice length with the elegance of Petite Champagne and the fruity aromas of Fins Bois. Enjoy neat, on ice or in cocktails. Exclusive storage in oak barrels.100% Ugni blanc
Maison Audry Cognac Fine Champagne NAPOLEON 15y to 18y
NAPOLÉON THE PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN THE TONICITY OF A STILL YOUNG COGNAC AND THE ROUNDNESS OF AN ALREADY MATURE EAU-DE-VIE. OLFACTORY NOTES Supple and mellow, its bouquet is very fresh accompanied by scents of vanilla and lime blossom. TASTING NOTES Light palate with notes of candied fruit, buttery notes and vanilla. At the start of its ageing, this cognac undergoes a rapid passage in new barrels to keep the natural aromatics of the eaux-de-vie. It will then be transferred to an old barrel to continue its development in a humid cellar to promote its roundness and accentuate the rancios. This blend is a mixture of eaux-de-vie with and without lees, between 15 and 18 years old, from the terroirs of Petite and Grande Champagne. With its ABV of 40%, the reduction of eaux-de-vie in a natural way is favored. This high degree offers a more accomplished taste discovery as well as a better perception of aromas. This cognac contains no additives, sugar, or caramel. Only a slight filtration is carried out to preserve its aromatic qualities as much as possible.
