Bas-Armagnac Domaine de Jaurrey Laberdolive 1993

The wine

To craft this Bas-Armagnac, the Laberdolive family wished to let the terroir and the vintage fully express themselves through distillation in regional alambic containers and extensive maturation. This cuvée is amber in colour with hints of orange, and it has complex aromas of candied fruit and gentle spices. It is balance, dense, and its aromatic persistence is striking.

About the Producer Laberdolive

A family-run business for some seven generations, Pierre Laberdolive has inherited an exceptional estate that he has dedicated to excellence for several decades. Located in the Douze Valley in the region of Armagnac (South-West France), the Jaurrey estate in Labastide produces exceptional Armagnacs (wine brandy). The estate uses a wide variety of grape varieties, including Baco, Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche (distilled and aged separately). The Bas-Armagnac appellation is located in the western part of the Gers and the Landes, in a terroir composed of sandy soils (tawny sands). Laberdolive Bas-Armagnac is created according to traditional methods that include a handful of key stages. First, a white wine must be produced, then it must be distilled. Ageing lasts several years and takes place in oak barrels. This creates fruity, spicy and beautifully round Bas-Armagnacs. Laberdolive offers a rich range of vintages.
