Château de Laubade Signature 5 Year is the house's entry-level aged expression, representing the distillery's philosophy applied to a younger spirit. Produced from Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco, and Folle Blanche grapes grown on the estate's 260-acre single-block vineyard in Sorbets, distilled in the traditional Armagnacais column still and aged for a minimum of five years in 400-litre Gascony oak barrels. Despite its relative youth, the Signature 5 Year shows the Laubade house style: fresh dried fruit, light vanilla, and the distinctive aromatic character of the Armagnacais still. 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.
