ORGANIC

Keywords: Fruity / Pleasant / Sweet

The wine: The Demoiselle vintage from Domaine Laballe is a delicious sweet wine entirely made from the Gros manseng grape variety. Aromas of exotic fruits (pineapple, mango, passion fruit) mingle here with delicious notes of pear, apricot and peach. The sweetness is very well balanced, bringing a lot of pleasure in tasting but without ever falling into heaviness. A flavorful bottle and an excellent value for money which will go wonderfully with exotic and spicy cuisines, as well as desserts!

The estate: Bought in 1820 by Jean-Dominique Laudet, Château Laballe was initially best known for its very fine production of Armagnacs. However, a few generations later, the estate opened up to the world of wine thanks to Noël Laudet in the 1970s. The vineyard now covers 17 hectares and has been managed since 2007 by the 8th generation, played by Cyril, accompanied by his wife Julie. The terroir here is very atypical and the vines are immersed in what we call "tawny sands", well known in Bas-Armagnac where they are the preferred soils. The estate was the first to produce wines on this terroir, bringing minerality and freshness to the wines and spirits produced. A lovely farm steeped in history that you absolutely must discover!
