- Description
- Château Laballe's 1975 vintage, released in 2026 after 51 years of maturation, shows the concentrated richness that emerges when Bas Armagnac reaches advanced age—powerful on the palate with the distinctive rancio character of old brandy. Orange peel, walnut, and sweet spice notes intermingle with deep oak influence and honeyed sweetness that builds across the finish. The higher proof at 48.8% provides grip and structure to the intensity. Suited to milestone celebrations or gifting to serious brandy enthusiasts.
