DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1991

• Ageing eau-de-vie from the 1991 harvest, bottled after several decades of ageing in the cellars
• Cask aged in Gascon oak casks at the Armagnac Delord cellars in Lannepax

The 1991 vintage from Armagnac Delord is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, distilled and then aged for many years in Gascon oak casks in the family cellars at Lannepax, in the Gers. On the nose, it is elegant and highly aromatic, with notes of stewed fruits (fig, quince) and warm barrel wood (cocoa, vanilla). The palate leans into roasted coffee, cocoa and spice (liquorice). Bottled at 40% vol., this vintage Armagnac is presented here in a 70 cl bottle, equally suited to leisurely tasting or as an exceptional gift.
