DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 2000

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 2000 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the house's cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

2000 is a year the Delord family returns to willingly in their blends: it appears in the Création N°14, alongside 1975 and 1993, and in the Création N°15 cited in the house's 2026 documentation, alongside 1975, 1979 and 1983. Here, it is tasted on its own: a single harvest, distilled at Lannepax, aged in oak casks, now twenty-six years old. Bottled at 40% vol., this vintage is presented in a basquaise bottle of 70 cl with a wooden case, for a year-2000 anniversary.

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