Laballe Vital Blanche d'Armagnac

A traditional eau-de-vie from Domaine Laballe in southwest France, bottled without ageing in cask to express the character of the grape and the distillation. The grapes are harvested at maturity and the fermentation is closely monitored to preserve fruity expression; after distillation the spirit rests in stainless steel tank. The nose shows clear aromas of white fruits, fresh pear, crisp grape and white flowers, with a citrus touch. The palate is soft yet lively, with white fruits, apple and pear alongside a light mineral note, and no woody influence. The finish is precise and aromatic.
