Armagnac & foie gras, l'accord gascon : visite, dégustation, cocktail et toasts de foie gras

An immersive tour through the heart of the Domaine de Laballe, taking in the vineyards, the wine cellar, and a tasting. The tour begins with an introduction to the estate and its history, winding through the Armagnac vineyards, covering vine cultivation and the stages of winemaking. Next, head to the cellar to uncover the secrets of production and aging: stills, distillation, barrels, and age classifications, with a barrel cut in half illustrating how Armagnac evolves in the wood. The tour continues in the tasting room with a presentation of the Armagnac aroma wheel, a blind tasting of the 3-, 12-, and 21-year-old collection, followed by a tasting straight from the barrel. It ends on a high note with a cocktail made with Blanche d’Armagnac, accompanied by a duck producer who will delight your taste buds with plates of duck and foie gras on toast.
