Château de Laubade VSOP is a vatted Bas-Armagnac blending eaux-de-vie aged between six and twelve years, all distilled and matured on the estate in Sorbets, Gers. The VSOP category requires a minimum six-year age, and Laubade's expression extends up to twelve years for added complexity. Production follows the estate's full single-vineyard philosophy: Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco, and Folle Blanche grapes distilled through the Armagnacais column still, then aged separately by varietal in 400-litre Gascony oak before blending. The VSOP represents the house's approachable mid-range — fuller and more complex than the Signature 5 Year, with greater dried fruit depth. 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.
