The history of Armagnac Delord began in 1893, when Prosper Delord, an itinerant distiller, transformed white wine into Armagnac as he toured the region's farms.
In 1932, his sons Gaston and Georges founded Maison Armagnac Delord Frères in Lannepax, and gradually developed exports to the United States. Gaston's son Jacques took over in 1963, joined ten years later by his brother Pierre. In 2001, the fourth generation, represented by Sylvain and Jérôme, ensured continuity: one devoted himself to making Armagnacs, the other to promoting them.
In 2020, they bought the family-owned Domaine de Galaubas, a 75-hectare terroir, including 6 hectares of organic farming.
The vineyard, located in Lannepax, is planted with the four traditional Armagnac grape varieties: Ugni-blanc, CoLombard, Folle-blanche and Baco. The grapes are harvested and vinified on site, under the supervision of Sylvain Delord, to guarantee aromatic wines suitable for distillation.

Founded in 1893 in the Bas-Armagnac region of Lannepax, Maison Delord embodies family expertise in the constant pursuit of excellence.
In the glass, the 1973 vintage has a fairly dark amber color with coppery highlights.
The liquid is bright, dark amber in color with coppery highlights. When you take a sip, you can detect a complex bouquet with notes of cocoa, vanilla, a subtle woodiness, and hints of rancio, a marker of very old eaux-de-vie. After a few minutes, fresher notes of citrus zest also emerge. The palate has a supple attack and a body marked by roundness and smoothness. The aromas found on the nose unfold with elegance and refinement, carrying us to a remarkably long finish marked by vanilla and spices.
With this perfectly successful vintage, the distillation and aging process at Delord is clearly mastered. Embodiment of refinement, elegance, and typicity, this Bas-Armagnac will delight connoisseurs.
