DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1975

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1975 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the house's cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

The 1975 appears in several of the house's Créations: Jacques and Sylvain Delord paired it with 1993 and 2000 for Création N°14, and the house's 2026 documentation still lists it in Création N°15. On its own in the bottle, it reveals a floral nose of hyacinth and violet, lifted by cherry stone, almond and candied fruit; the palate moves from fresh flowers to spices and verbena, before a very delicate hint of blond tobacco. Fifty-one years after the harvest, it is bottled at 40% vol. Basquaise bottle, 70 cl, presented in a wooden case.
