Château De Laubade Armagnac Vintage 1978 Amathus Anniversary Selection

Château de Laubade is an agricultural and winegrowing estate located in Sorbets, in the Gers, in the heart of the finest Bas Armagnac terroir. The 105-hectare estate in a single block around the château, built in 1870, has been in the Lesgourgues family for three generations. Today, Denis, assisted by his sister, Jeanne, and brother, Arnaud, continue their family’s constant striving for excellence, with the aim of producing the most outstanding Armagnacs. The magnificent château has witnessed over 150 years of history and the Armagnac produced there has become a benchmark both in France and abroad. Château de Laubade, owned by well-known figures of the late 19th century, like the founder, Joseph Noulens, a great French statesman, and his wife, Jeanne Paquin, a famous fashion designer, has withstood the test of time, combining tradition and modernity. Today, the Lesgourgues family’s legendary Armagnacs are created using ancient craft methods, while maintaining a constant spirit of innovation and environmental responsibility. This 1978 vintage is a Bas Armagnac with the Baco and Ugni Blanc grapes coming 100% from the harvest  of 1978. Selected and bottled especially to celebrate 45 years of Amathus.
