Laberdolive 1962 Domaine de Jaurrey Bas Armagnac

There are very few products whose clear superiority and singularity allow them to define the very category into which they are placed. The Armagnacs of Laberdolive, however, have for many years been regarded by a consensus of connoisseurs as the exemplar of the highest standard to which Armagnac can aspire, and the reference point for Armagnac.

Laberdolive is single-vineyard, vintage-dated Armagnac crafted by one Gascon family for over five generations. The Armagnac is produced from wine made from their own vineyards (including rare ungrafted, pre-phylloxera folle blanche). It is distilled by hand with an antique wood-fired continuous still and aged in black oak barrels hewn from the estate’s own forests. Laberdolive Armagnac is bottled at cask strength, and only when fully mature, with no addition of coloring or water. Importer Notes.
