Delord Blanche d'Armagnac

  • Ageing Unaged eau-de-vie
  • Grape varieties 100% Colombard
  • Distillation Double distillation

Blanche d'Armagnac is an eau-de-vie that never touches a barrel: it retains the clarity and fruit of the grape. At Delord, Sylvain crafts it exclusively from Colombard, a variety the house has historically reserved for this purpose, with careful vinification (settling, temperature control, racking) and double distillation. The nose is intense, with fresh grape, citrus, pear and green almond; the palate opens round and full. At 42% vol., in a 70 cl bottle, it can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, such as the Blanche Julep with mint that the house recommends.
