Fine Armagnac from the house of Delord. Distilled in 1975 and barrel aged until its recent bottling. You can appreciate the seven mystical Armagnac notes of nut, peach, violet, lime, vanilla, plum and pepper from this excellent Armagnac house that was established in 1893.
Delord Armagnac Vintage may be labeled as both Bas Armagnac or Vieil Armagnac. Please ensure your merchant has the one you are looking for.
Vintage notes: “The four grape varieties are harvested, pressed, and vinified separately in a winemaking cellar, a few meters from the distillery. Temperature control, must settling and racking are all techniques well mastered by Sylvain Delord. He is looking for an aromatic wine that is slightly acidic and low in alcohol which is the ideal wine for the distillation. The distillery is in Lannepax, the family’s native village. The distillation, an essential and fascinating step in the creation of Armagnac takes place in the heart of winter. We are one of the only Armagnac houses using the two methods of distillation; the continuous distillation method that is typical for Armagnac and the double distillation.”
