Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (2020 guide) Cited (Successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Vinified dry, the grape variety produces a white wine with aromas of pear, apple and dried fruit, and a full, balanced palate with a slightly bitter finish.
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.
