Bas Armagnac Labiette Castille VS 700ml

Labiette Castille VS Bas-Armagnac is an elegant French Armagnac crafted in the heart of the prestigious Bas-Armagnac region of Gascony. Soft, fruity and floral, this approachable VS expression showcases the traditional character of one of France's historic brandy-producing regions.

The VS is a carefully composed blend of 15 individual eaux-de-vie aged between 3 and 5 years. Labiette Castille works with the four traditional grape varieties grown on the estate—Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Baco 22A and Colombard—with each variety vinified and distilled separately to preserve its individual character.

Following fermentation, the wines are distilled using a traditional continuous Armagnacais column still. The resulting eaux-de-vie are matured in 430-liter barrels made from local Gascony oak, allowing the spirit to develop its characteristic fruit, vanilla and oak complexity before the cellar master creates the final blend.

The aroma is soft and inviting, revealing orange blossom, orange marmalade, hyacinth, pear and honey. On the palate, the Armagnac develops a creamy texture with notes of vanilla, baked apple and ripe fruit, creating a balanced and approachable profile.

Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), Labiette Castille VS can be enjoyed neat, lightly chilled or over ice. Its fresh fruit and floral character also makes it particularly versatile in premium brandy cocktails. The producer recommends serving it as an aperitif with tonic and a slice of lime for a refreshing alternative.

For anyone beginning to explore Armagnac—or looking for a versatile French brandy with authentic regional character—Labiette Castille VS Bas-Armagnac offers an excellent introduction to the traditional craftsmanship of Gascony.
