Château de Laubade Intemporel N°5 has a nice light mahogany colour. The bouquet contains prune, candied fruits, chocolate, roasted coffee, moka, walnut, cinamon and fig aromas. On the mouth, it is complex, powerful and elegant, with character and a very intense lenght.

Made in the heart of the Bas Armagnac region, the quite complex bouquet is fairly rustic in style, liquorice, trodden grass, pepper and coffee. The alcohol is perfectly integrated in the mouth and you will perceive all the mellowness of this brilliant vintage Armagnac.

Twelve years of aging signify the first maturity of the Folle Blanche. Served at room temperature with a fruity dessert, meringue pastry, or eaten alone: the taste experience of elegance. Tasting Notes: Deep golden colour and a fresh nose of fruit (orange, lemon, wild apple) and flowers. A silky texture gently intensifying the freshness of the attack towards a long palate evoking candied pineapple, nutmeg, white pepper and zest. Wood and fruit melted in balance. The finish is tinged with liquorice coated with these deep flavours close to nuts and typical of the aging of the great Bas-Armagnacs, called "rancio".

Domaine du Tariquet 1994 BA 45.5% 700ml Grape Variety: 60% Ugni-blanc 40% Baco Tasting Notes: Vintage blonde colour, slightly tiled. The nose is ripe, well vanilla, some aromas of hazelnut then a very pleasant sensation of sweetness. The aromatic palette turns out to be noble, very “cigar box” and cashew nuts on the glass bottom. The palate is suave, powerful, thick with a feeling of opulence, bringing in the finish more orange freshness.

The youngest of the brandies in this typical Bas-Armagnac blend was aged in oak barrels, in our cellars, for at least 3 years. Tasting Notes: A beautiful shade of old rum. A fine, elegant, subtle bouquet with no austerity. The oak reveals a hint of vanilla, enhanced by traces of cinnamon and dried fruit. The esters produce cocoa and vanilla aromas. A strong, well-balanced palate releases flavours of spices and currants. The finish has spicy undertones, with marked vanilla, prunes and dried fruit.

The youngest of the eaux-de-vie making up this blend of typical Bas-Armagnac grape varieties has been aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 3 years in our cellars. Tasting Notes: Beautiful amber colour, old gold. The nose of warm bread crust, blond caramel. With ventilation, the sensation of soft heat is confirmed and intensified then evolves into notes of angelica candied. The palate is frank, young, slightly vanilla, all marked by the toast and youth of burnt wood. A caressing brandy, all in flexibility.

An eight-year maturing process gives rise to a superb Folle Blanche brandy. Served at room temperature or chilled, the natural intensity of the Folle Blanche will provide a delicious accompaniment to desserts with orange and chocolate. Profile: The intensity and finesse of a 100% Folle Blanche Bas-Armagnac in the first bloom of youth. Tasting notes: A golden robe and a sap-heavy bouquet, with accents of vanilla, plum and orange zest. A tight flavour with a lively punch, coloured by notes of plants and fruits, backed by faint cocoa aromas. A great length of flavour, building to a finish dominated by woody notes and orange zest.
