- Description
- Château Laballe's 1983 vintage, bottled in 2026, represents a benchmark year from this Laudet family estate at 48.1% ABV. Four decades in barrel have concentrated the spirit's natural fruit character into notes of raisin, prune, and warming spice. The higher proof brings additional texture and presence without harshness. A generous expression for those who enjoy Armagnac's darker, more intense character.
