Demoiselle is soft, suave and without superfluity! This cuvée glouglou par excellence is nonetheless subtle and delicate. Its intense nose combines notes of fresh exotic fruit (pineapple, mango) and dried fruit (apricot). The palate opens with freshness, then a round, slightly sweet body envelops the palate, giving way to aromas that linger over the long finish. A true purveyor of pleasure!

About the domain :
In 1820, Jean-Noël Laudet, on his return from the West Indies where he had spent over twenty years in the spice trade, founded this Bas-Armagnac estate to produce the Gascon brandy. Since 2007, the vineyard (40 ha on a tawny sand terroir rich in iron oxide) has been run by Cyril Laudet (eighth generation) and his wife Julie, who also produce IGP wines.
