Delord Coffret Cépages

  • Ageing 2018 harvest, 25 months in new cask
  • Cask New casks from the same cooper, South-West oak, medium toast
  • Grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Baco (one bottle per grape variety)

To illustrate the influence of the grape variety, Sylvain Delord has brought together three Armagnacs that share everything else: the 2018 harvest, the same still, the same cooper, new casks in South-West oak with a medium toast, the same cellar and twenty-five months of ageing.

The Ugni Blanc shows fruity character (vineyard peach, stewed pear, quince paste), the Folle Blanche is floral (dried flowers, verbena, linden blossom, wild carnation), the Baco is spiced (clove, green pepper, liquorice, nutmeg). According to the house, they come in at between 52.4 and 53.6% vol.
