- Description
- Château Laballe's 1982 vintage, bottled in 2026, represents over two centuries of family stewardship in Bas Armagnac since its founding in 1820. At 42.5% ABV, this spirit carries the dried fruit and oak complexity characteristic of a vintage Armagnac of this age. The extended barrel maturation has developed layered flavours of prune, toffee, and subtle spice. This is a contemplative spirit for those who appreciate Armagnac's elegance and historical depth.
