Description
The Château de Laubade Amathus Anniversary Selection 45 yrs is a distinguished expression of Armagnac, celebrating the remarkable journey of a spirit that has gracefully matured over 45 years. Crafted from a vintage of 1978, this exquisite offering embodies the art of patience and the dedication of its artisans, making it a true collector's gem.
With each sip, the spirit unveils a rich tapestry of flavors that evoke the rustic charm of Gascony's oak barrels and the sun-drenched landscapes of its origins. The profound depth of flavors is underscored by:
- Nose: Rich vanilla, warm almond pastry, subtle wood spices, delicate honeyed fruit, and herbaceous freshness.
- Palate: Rich and velvety with notes of caramel, dried apricot, and almond cake, complemented by gentle warming spices.
- Finish: A smooth mouthfeel with layered notes of nutmeg and oak, providing a lingering finish that invites you back for more.
This Armagnac not only captivates the senses but also invites you to partake in a quiet conversation with time itself. It is a secret shared between the oak and the spirit, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
For the perfect experience, consider these serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled or neat to appreciate its complexity.
- Pair it with aged cheese for a sumptuous tasting experience.
- Enjoy it on the rocks for a refreshing twist.
- Incorporate into sophisticated cocktails for an upscale libation.
To ensure that you preserve the quality of this fine Armagnac, observe the following storage advice:
- Maintain a cool, stable temperature between 15–20°C (59–68°F).
- Store in complete darkness to protect against UV degradation.
- Keep the bottle tightly sealed upright to protect the cork and spirit.
- Maintain moderate humidity at around 50–70%.
- Avoid vibration and excess movement to preserve the spirit's integrity.
- After opening, keep the bottle sealed, stored as described above.
Indulge in the sophistication of the Château de Laubade Amathus Anniversary Selection 45 yrs, where every drop is a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the extraordinary possibilities of time.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Armagnac including a 45-year-old selection adhere to the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store the Armagnac in a cool stable environment ideally between 15–20°C (59–68°F). Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations which can negatively affect the spirit’s integrity.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in complete darkness or very low light conditions. Exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays can degrade the quality over time so storage in a dark cabinet or room is optimal.
- Sealing: Since Armagnac is a high-alcohol spirit it does not age further once bottled. Bottles should be sealed tightly ensuring the cork remains intact but the spirit should not be in prolonged contact with the cork to prevent cork degradation and taint.
- Bottle Position: Always store the bottle upright. Unlike wine storing Armagnac bottles on their sides can cause the high alcohol content to damage the cork and potentially taint the spirit.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level of around 50–70%. This level helps preserve the cork’s elasticity and prevents it from drying out which could compromise the seal. Excess humidity above 70% might cause mold so a balanced humidity is important.
- Vibration: Store in a stable vibration-free environment. Excess movement or vibrations can accelerate chemical reactions that might subtly affect the spirit’s quality.
- Opened Bottle Storage: After opening keep the bottle tightly sealed and stored in the same conditions described above. The quality can be maintained for a long time if air ingress is minimized and the bottle remains upright and cool.
These guidelines serve to preserve both the quality and the shelf life of aged Armagnac whether unopened or once opened.
