Laballe Bas Armagnac 3 Years Ice

Volume: 0.5 litres | Alcohol content: 47.3% | Colouring: No

Special Features:

With ICE 3, Laballe pairs a short period of cask maturation with a versatile approach to serving: the youngest Armagnac in the 3-12-21 collection is also intended as an aperitif over ice and for cocktails. Made entirely from Ugni Blanc, it matures for at least three years in black oak casks from the Landes. It is bottled at 47.3% alcohol in a 0.5-litre bottle.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose combines fruity impressions with brioche, almond cream and vanilla.
• Palate: On the palate, the Armagnac is fresh and lightly woody, with notes of lemon and menthol.
• Finish: The finish fades gently, with a rounded, mellow character.

Distillery/Bottler:

The Laudet family has run Laballe in Parleboscq, France, since 1820. The estate lies between the Landes and the Gers, on the sandy-clay soils of the Sables Fauves. For eight generations, the family has kept its work on the estate, from the vineyard to the finished bottle.

Production includes winemaking in concrete tanks and distillation in a wood-fired copper alembic dating from 1947. Laballe then uses black Gascon oak casks for maturation. Winemaking, distillation and cask ageing thus remain closely connected to the estate.
