Armagnac Tasting Notes
* 1940 Château
de Laubade Bas Armagnac Vintage: 40% Ugni Blanc, 30% Baco, 15%
Colombard, and 15% Folle Blanche. An amber color with decadent
caramel flavor to match. Elegant balance of oak, vanilla, spice and
firewood.
*

exceptionally long and warm finish.
*
1966 Saint Christeau Bas Armagnac: Toasted pecans and pumpkin
seed
*
1982 Laberdolive Bas Armagnac Domaine de Jaurrey: Nut and smoke
flavors
*
1986 Baron de Lustrac Bas Armagnac Courros: Distinct apricot and
peach aromas, very fruity and fills the mouth.
*
1993 N.V. Delord Bas Armagnac Napoléon: The flavor is primarily
for the nose, floral, fruity, and complex. Apple, grape, and honey
flavors are rounded with a touch of the burned wood and a short but
sweet finish.
*
2007 Domaine Haut-Marin Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne En
Bretagne d'Armagnac: Gooseberry scent combined with flint and

finish of pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon. Mineral note
finish.

*
N.V. Baron de Sigognac Armagnac 10 ans: Vanilla with a touch of
Orange, sweet and strong

similar to Puységur VS Armagnac, with toffee. On the palate,
smooth with chocolate and grape.
*
N.V. Delord Bas Armagnac XO: Sweet, smooth apple notes, a simple
drink with a short finish.
*
N.V. Château de Laubade Bas Armagnac XO: Fruity flavors immersed
in oak, long finish with fruit at the very end.
