- Description
- Château Laballe's 1986 vintage, bottled in 2026 after four decades in oak, shows the richness that develops when Bas Armagnac reaches full maturity without over-extraction. The higher proof of 45.6% preserves structure and grip alongside honeyed stone fruit and caramelized oak notes. Walnut, dried figs, and gentle spice create layers that unfold across the palate. An ideal choice for marking significant occasions or gifting to those who appreciate spirits at their peak.
