The suggested serving temperature for Château de Laubade Bas Armagnac Vintage 1984 like other Armagnacs is typically between 18 and 20 °C (room temperature) to fully appreciate its flavors and aromas. Serving Armagnac at this temperature allows the spirit to express its full complexity without the flavors being muted by cold temperatures.

For optimal storage of Armagnac implement the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store Armagnac in a cool stable environment ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations or very hot or cold conditions to preserve flavor integrity without affecting its quality.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and bright artificial light. Light especially UV rays can degrade the spirit over time diminishing its quality.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is well-sealed with its original cork or stopper to prevent evaporation and oxidation. Armagnac does not improve after bottling so maintaining the seal is crucial to preserve its current quality.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Since Armagnac has high alcohol content keeping the liquid in contact with the cork can degrade it potentially contaminating the spirit.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70%. While less sensitive than wine this aids cork integrity preventing it from drying out which could compromise the seal.

- Additional Tips:
- Store bottles in a vibration-free stable environment to avoid speeding chemical reactions that could alter quality.
- Once opened the Armagnac should continue to be stored upright sealed tightly and kept away from light and heat. Consumption within a reasonable timeframe is recommended as oxidation post-opening can slowly affect flavor over months.

These conditions will best preserve the quality and shelf life of Armagnac whether the bottle is unopened or opened without contributing to further aging after bottling.
