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 ...
Over the decades, Maison Delord has established itself as one of the finest expressions of Gascon expertise. Founded in 1893 by Prosper Delord in Bas-Armagnac, it continues to uphold traditional craftsmanship. Delord 15-year-old Armagnac, made from a blend of four grape varieties emblematic of the region, is produced using traditional winemaking methods that guarantee an aromatic, slightly acidic wine with a low alcohol content. Continuous distillation is carried out in column stills equipped with "spider leg" trays, ideal for producing aged Armagnacs. Its meticulous aging process begins in new French oak barrels, followed by a finish in semi-exhausted casks, ensuring slow and complex maturation over 15 years or more.
With a dark topaz color and coppery highlights, this Armagnac offers a rich and indulgent nose. It reveals notes of prune, fig, and candied pear. Upon aeration, deeper notes emerge, including vanilla, honey, and a touch of rancio, reflecting its extended barrel aging. The overall impression is harmonious, rich and very elegant. On the palate, the attack seduces us with its suppleness and enveloping roundness. Dried fruit dominates at first, supported by delicate woodiness and notes of sweet spices. The mid-palate reveals a velvety and balanced texture, where oak and fruit intertwine in beautiful harmony. The finish is long and harmonious, with notes of honey and toasted oak. A slight touch of rancio and toasted hazelnut prolongs the pleasure, offering a sensation of fullness and elegance.
