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 ageing process takes place in their cellars, where over 1,400 oak barrels house eaux-de-vie dating back to the early 20th century. The oldest vintages are kept in casks in a room called Le Paradis, where they are protected from the light.
This heritage, combined with rigorous craftsmanship, gives Delord Armagnacs a singular identity and unrivalled refinement.
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.
