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 1986.

Since 1893, Maison Delord, founded by Prosper Delord, has been perpetuating its family expertise with the aim of producing exceptional Bas-Armagnacs. The elegant and distinguished 1986 vintage is a fine example of this.

With an amber topaz color and intense, brilliant highlights, this nectar expresses itself in the glass with a rich and complex nose. It exudes hints of almond, cinnamon, and pepper. A floral touch and fruity notes gradually emerge after a few minutes, adding depth. The pleasure is immediate on the palate. The attack is supple but well-structured, with floral flavors accompanied by notes of thyme and sweet spices. Deliciously indulgent, the tasting ends with a relatively long finish dominated by subtle woody notes.

This 1986 Delord stands out for its finesse and elegance, more subtle than flamboyant. It favors a delicate aromatic expression rather than excessive power, making it a wonderful tasting experience for lovers of mature and refined Armagnac.

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.
