On the palate, a soft, rounded texture adds depth to the fruit, making every sip a pleasure. Delicious as an aperitif, this white is equally at home alongside fish, poultry or a summer salad.

The estate : Purchased in 1820 by Jean-Dominique Laudet, Château Laballe was initially best known for its excellent Armagnac production. However, a few generations later, the estate opened up to the world of wine thanks to Noël Laudet in the 1970s. Today, the vineyard covers 17 hectares and has been managed since 2007 by the 8th generation, represented by Cyril, accompanied by his wife Julie. The terroir here is very atypical and the vines grow in what are called "sables fauves," well known in Bas-Armagnac as 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 estate full of history that is an absolute must-discover!
