Description

Delord, a renowned producer in Gascogne, is known for their small yet impressive stature. Their distillation process, conducted at approximately 60 degrees, yields the classic prune and fruit flavors of the region. Additionally, their spirits possess the rich nutty undertones typically found in higher range distillations. Delord's smaller scale enables their vintages to exhibit more individuality, while all of their armagnacs gain enhanced maturity with age. Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Baco are the grape varieties employed. The mild and humid climate, coupled with sunny autumns, along with the siliceous clay soil, which lacks lime, contribute to the lightness, fragrance, and subtle nuances present in Bas Armagnacs. Distilled at levels lower than other brandies, Delord's armagnacs retain a greater emphasis on wine flavors, though they may be slghtly less refined compared to cognacs. The aroma showcases prunes, dried fruits, and a captivating richness complimented by hints of soft spices. The flavor profile entails plums, prunes, and delightful almond notes intertwined with delicate spices like cinnamon.
