Lot 1: Celebrating 1979 In Style!
Although 1979 didn’t go down in history as a legendary year for French wine and spirits, it is a year we want to honor and celebrate tonight! Our spirits experts searched far and wide for an exceptional bottle, knowing that well-aged expressions from that vintage can develop remarkable depth and character over time.
To savor and take home as a keepsake–or to share with your table before hitting the dance floor–allow us to present the finest 1979 Armagnac, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, Château de Laubade Bas Armagnac.
In the vintner’s own words: “This sip-worthy Armagnac was bottled in 2012, 33 years after distillation. Look for a deep nut-brown hue and maple aroma, with undercurrents of dried herbs and dried cherries. The silky palate opens with vanilla and crème brûlée, exiting with dusty cocoa and a hint of cherry that combine into a pleasing dark chocolate-covered cherry effect. It is long and rich in mouth with extra length.”
This exquisite elixir will serve as the perfect exclamation point to any gourmet dinner. At your request, it can come to your table complete with a tray of 10 snifters after dessert is served.
Inclusions:
- One 750ml bottle of Château de Laubade Bas Armagnac 1979 to take home or served tableside on request
- 10 snifters on a tray
