DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1967 MAGNUM 150 cl

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1967 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the estate cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

We are offering the 1967 vintage from Delord in its large format, the pot gascon of 150 cl. The harvest of that year, distilled at Lannepax in the time of Jacques Delord, has aged without being blended with any other. Its tasting notes describe a bright amber robe with orange highlights, a rich nose of ripe fruit, dried flowers and vanilla, and a clean palate marked by rancio and spice. Fifty-nine years on, this magnum at 40% vol., presented in a wooden case, is made for a very special occasion.

ColourBright, with orange highlights
NoseRich: ripe fruit, dried flowers, vanilla
PalateClean and direct, with rancio and spice notes

Serve with Neat, or paired with a cigar, a chocolate dessert or an arabica coffee, as the estate suggests
