Their traditional expertise is passed down through generations, ensuring exceptional eaux-de-vie. The estate is committed to preserving ancestral methods and quality aging.

    Vineyard

    The Armagnac Delord vineyard is situated in the historic Bas-Armagnac region, known for producing the finest and most elegant Armagnacs. The terroir features sandy and clay-limestone soils, contributing to the aromatic complexity of the white wines used for distillation.

    Vinification & Aging

    Distillation is carried out in a traditional column still, allowing slow and delicate extraction of aromas. Aging in carefully selected oak barrels for several decades imparts woody complexity, notes of vanilla, prune, and a smooth texture on the palate.
