Tasting notes

Château de Laubade's Blanche Armagnac: a clear spirit, born from white wine, primarily the Folle Blanche grape, known for intense aromatics and notable freshness. Bottled swiftly after distillation, it captures grape essence and meticulous craft. Think crisp orchard fruits — pears, green apples — with a delicate floral flourish, like jasmine or lime blossom. It’s a transparent, vivacious spirit, a shot of pure, unaged vitality. It cleanses the palate like a swift mountain stream, leaving a soft, balanced finish. A versatile chameleon for cocktails, it adapts brilliantly, or stands alone, chilled, a beacon of pristine flavor.

Storage advice

To optimally store Armagnac including both unopened and opened bottles consider the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store Armagnac in a stable cool environment ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid exposure to heat or fluctuating temperatures as this can negatively affect the spirit’s quality and aging process.

- Light exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent degradation of the spirit. A dark cabinet or cellar is preferred for long-term storage.

- Sealing: Armagnac bottles should be stored upright to minimize contact between the cork and the high alcohol content which can degrade the cork over time and impact flavor. Ensure the cork or cap is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and evaporation.

- Bottle position: Always store the bottle upright; unlike wine Armagnac’s high alcohol can compromise the cork if stored on its side.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% to help keep corks from drying out or swelling excessively. This prolongs cork integrity and maintains the bottle’s seal.

- Additional tips:
- Avoid vibration and movement as it can accelerate unwanted chemical reactions in the spirit.
- For opened bottles minimize air exposure by resealing tightly and store in the same conditions as unopened bottles because prolonged exposure to air can gradually degrade flavor quality.
- Armagnac like other barrel-aged spirits benefits from storage conditions similar to wine cellars with stable temperature and humidity.

By following these guidelines Armagnac can be well preserved maintaining its quality and shelf life whether unopened or once partially consumed.
