- Description
- Laballe's 1981 vintage represents nearly 45 years of maturation in the family's Armagnac cellars, tracing back to the house's 1820 founding by Jean Dominque Laudet. The spirit develops deep amber tones and complex dried fruit character with underlying oak influence from decades in barrel. This is a collector's expression suited to contemplative sipping or as the centerpiece of a serious tasting.
