1982 Chateau Laballe 47.9% 700ml, Armagnac

100% Baco grape.Bottled in September 2021 from barrel ‘Dame Jeanne n°R4’, this was another great Armagnac vintage, where good yields resulted in a harvest with great acidity. Laballe’s ‘82 offers delicacy and elegance. It opens with complex aromatics of Tokaji and apricot, with light peat and herbal notes. The palate is expansive and superbly refined, unfurling in layers of dried fruit, roasted nuts, citrus and vanilla cream tapering to a long finish with well-integrated tannins.
