Château de Laubade 2000 – Brut de fût – Bas Armagnac

The nose is intense and offers a beautiful finesse of the grain, a small richness as well as a beautiful definition, a small incisive side (full of elegance). It reveals notes of lychee, kumquat zests, small notes of rose associated with touches of crushed Mirabelle, small fruits as well as very discreet hints of incense and grey pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, a beautiful definition/precision, intensity as well as delicacy. On the palate this Armagnac expresses notes of juicy/pulpy lemon, juicy mandarine, small notes of lychee associated with small touches of rose, exotic fruits as well as very discreet hints of vanilla, pastries/caramelization, a subtle hint of grey pepper and cedar. Good length. An imperceptible hint of mild tobacco on the finish. A very discreet tannic hint on the finish/persistence.
