The house manages 105 hectares in the most highly regarded zone of the appellation and combines tradition with meticulous craftsmanship. The third generation safeguards the heritage and holds to a sustainable approach in which every step from vineyard to bottle is controlled. The X.O. is a blended selection of eaux-de-vie that were distilled separately by grape variety and by harvest and then matured in Gascon oak casks. The cuvée brings Ugni Blanc and Colombard to the fore, complemented by Folle Blanche and the regional Baco; the eaux-de-vie are between 15 and 25 years old. The result is an Armagnac of great finesse, deep complexity and a harmonious balance between fruit, spices and wood. In the glass the X.O. shows a rich, brilliant amber colour. The nose is intense and opens with plum, plum compote and dried apricot, followed by warm notes of vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa and coffee. Almond, toasted bread and a hint of orange peel add further facets. On the palate the Armagnac is round and velvety, complex and elegant, with a long, lingering finish. Château de Laubade X.O. calls for attention and is best enjoyed as a digestif in good company. It pairs excellently with richer cheeses such as Pont l'Évêque or Livarot, with tarte Tatin or with a chocolate soufflé, optionally flambéed with the same X.O. Serve lightly chilled in a tulip or balloon-shaped glass at around 16–18 °C to experience both aromatic depth and mouthfeel to the full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Armagnac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuy Château de Laubade Laubade Bas Armagnac XO De Luxe 40% +GBX 70cl\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover Château de Laubade Laubade Bas Armagnac XO De Luxe 40% +GBX 70cl at Gin \u0026amp; Wine Store in De Haan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Laubade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61610214457678,"sku":"YC60568000","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1101\/3016\/8142\/files\/YC60568000.png?v=1794302217","url":"https:\/\/ginwinkel.be\/en\/products\/yc-60568000","provider":"Gin \u0026 Wine Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
