DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1993

  • Ageing eau-de-vie from the 1993 harvest, bottled after several decades of ageing in the cellars
  • Cask aged in Gascon oak casks at the Armagnac Delord cellars in Lannepax

The 1993 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. The nose reveals aromas of smoke and tobacco, with notes of vanilla and delicate oak. The palate is lightly astringent, with that characteristic grip and dryness across the tongue and cheeks drawn from the wood's tannins. Bottled at 40% vol., this vintage Armagnac is presented in a 70 cl bottle, equally suited to contemplative sipping or as an exceptional gift.
