For over a century, Maison Delord has distinguished itself through its ability to combine tradition and creativity in the world of Bas-Armagnac. In Lannepax, the family's birthplace, each generation has successfully renewed the legacy passed down by Prosper Delord, while respecting the essence of the Gascon terroir. Création N°14 is a blend of the 2000, 1993, and 1975 vintages, carefully selected for their balance and depth, offering a contemporary and refined interpretation of the Delord style.
This spirit has an amber color with golden and coppery highlights. The nose is deep, elegant, and complex. It opens with notes of candied fruit, prunes, cherries, and dried apricots, before evolving into more spicy and pastry-like aromas such as cinnamon, cocoa, and brown caramel. When aerated, more subtle touches of blond tobacco, delicate rancio and dried flowers are revealed, giving the bouquet a real aromatic dimension and great nobility. On the palate, the attack is full, smooth, and velvety, supported by a silky texture and a remarkable balance between fruit, wood, and spices. The flavors of dried fruit and vanilla unfold harmoniously, carried by a structure that is both round and lively. The aromatic richness lingers elegantly, revealing a blend of beautiful maturity. The finish is long, caressing and persistent, marked by a return of candied fruit and noble wood. A few notes of cocoa and rancio prolong the tasting experience with a sensation of smoothness and perfect balance.
Delord Création N°14 embodies the Delord house's mastery of the art of blending: a work of balance, depth, and emotion. This is an Armagnac of great elegance, where the aromatic richness is expressed without excess. A real gem, it is aimed at both connoisseurs and amateurs eager to discover a modern and harmonious expression of Bas-Armagnac.
