Château de Laubade's 1992 vintage Bas-Armagnac was distilled on the Laubade estate in Sorbets, Gers, using the traditional Armagnacais column still — the continuous distillation apparatus unique to the Armagnac appellation. The vintage draws on Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco, and Folle Blanche grapes grown on the estate's 260 acres of vineyard, distilled and aged separately by grape variety in 400-litre Gascony oak barrels. Following several decades of maturation in the Laubade cellars, the 1992 presents the rounded, fruit-forward profile of the vintage — dried stone fruit, walnut, vanilla, and a gentle rancio — bottled at 40% ABV.

Château de Laubade is a family-owned Bas-Armagnac estate located in Sorbets in the Gers department of Gascony, south-west France — in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac appellation, the most highly regarded of the three Armagnac sub-regions. The estate was established in 1870 and acquired in 1974 by Maurice Lesgourgues. It is now run by the third generation of the Lesgourgues family — Denis, Jeanne, and Arnaud — who have built Laubade into one of the region's most celebrated producers. At 260 acres, it is the largest single-block vineyard estate in Bas-Armagnac, giving it exceptional control over grape varieties, harvesting, and wine quality at the source.
