In Gascony, between Landes and Gers, Domaine Laberdolive is situated on well exposed slopes overlooking the Douze valley. The Laberdolive vineyards cover 42 hectares and are situated on sandy soils. The grape varieties include Baco, Ugni-Blanc and Folle-Blanche. Distillation is carried out using an Armagnac still heated over a wood fire to obtain a 53 per cent eau-de-vie.
The precious Armagnac matures in traditional 400-litre barrels from the region, the wood for which generally comes from the estate’s forests. Laberdolive is an Armagnac full of finesse: full-bodied, with light sultana notes and a strong and long finish.
