DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1965

  • Ageing eau-de-vie from the 1965 harvest, bottled after several decades of ageing in the cellars
  • Cask aged in Gascon oak casks at the Armagnac Delord cellars in Lannepax

The 1965 vintage from Armagnac Delord is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, distilled and then aged for many decades in Gascon oak casks within the family cellars at Lannepax, in the Gers.

Bottled at 40% vol., this vintage Armagnac is presented here in a 70 cl bottle, ideal for leisurely sipping or as an exceptional gift.
