DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1981

Ageing Eau-de-vie from the single 1981 harvest, aged in oak casks
Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

1981 is the year of the first TGV between Paris and Lyon, and for many couples the year of their wedding: forty-five years on, they celebrate their coral wedding anniversary.
