Delord

Concours Général Agricole Paris 2017 - Gold Medal

One of the youngest vintage armagnacs that we stock, this 1998 still shows all the qualities for which Deloed is renowned.  

From Delord's extensive range of vintage armagnac releases comes this fairly recent golden nectar harvested in 1997.  

From the 1996 harvest, this is one of the more modern armagnac vintages. 

We are delighted to find that the quality of Delord's more recent vintages is as high as ever.

A wonderfully run firm with lots of good armagnacs. Despite its young age, this 15 year old is really fine, showing good balance and fruit.

Distilled over 20 years ago this is one of the youngest vintage armagnacs that we stock. Powerful flavours with notes of vanilla and toast are finished off with cooked apple aromas.

This armagnac is soft and creamy with flavours of candied fruits, quince and apricot. The house of Delord was established in 1893 so this wonderful, shimmering old gold vintage was distilled in its centenary year.  

An armagnac with character from Delord. It was distilled in 1992 and aged in wooden barrels until its recent bottling. It is contact with the wood that has helped give its beautiful colour of old gold with copper highlights.  

Although still quite small, Delord rank amongst the greats in Gascogne. Their distillation is around 60 degrees and this provides many of the traditional prune and fruit flavours of the region but also many of the rich nutty flavours of spirits distilled at a higher range. They are also small enough to have more individuality between vintages although all their armagnacs gain greater maturity with age.

The bottling process, labeling, wax sealing and gold embossing of these wonderful Delord armagnacs are done by hand by a team of only two or three workers. Artisanal production at its best.
