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.

Maison Delord is one of the Rares to practice both distillation methods: continuous distillation, ideal for older Armagnacs, and double toasting, which produces fruitier eaux-de-vie for younger Armagnacs. The... See more ...

Description Delord 1981.

Founded in 1893 by Prosper Delord, distiller and cellar master, Maison Delord embodies the excellence and tradition of Armagnac, passed down from generation to generation. The 1981 vintage, the result of this family expertise, is a rare gem, reflecting long aging in oak barrels, where every detail has been carefully considered to offer an unforgettable tasting experience.

It immediately seduces us with its very bright dark amber color with coppery highlights. On the nose, this Armagnac releases a fine bouquet marked by elegant notes of cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, and rancio. After several minutes of aeration, it opens up a little more and reveals scents of candied fruit. On the palate, the attack is silky, like velvet. The structure is elegant, allowing the aromas on the nose to express themselves fully. Sweet spices, ripe fruit, and roasted notes offer a delicious tasting experience. The remarkably long finish offers a gentle sensation of warmth.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
