Armagnac Delord

History

The story started in 1893, when Prosper Delord, travelling distiller and cellar master took his alambic from farm to farm, transforming white wine into Armagnac. Now this family-owned distillery is managed by the 4th generation, Jacques and Sylvain Delord, as the noses of the house, taste, select and blend the eaux-de-vie.

Vineyard

The vineyard of 42 hectares, divided into 11 parcels, is located in the village of Lannepax. They are one of the only Armagnac houses using the two methods of distillation; the continuous distillation method that is typical for Armagnac and the double distillation. The two Armagnac alambics, one of which is a « Sier » dating from 1900, are both column stills equipped with particular plates called “spider plates » which are ideal for the production of old Armagnacs. The two « double distillation » stills produce fruity eaux-de-vie destined for young Armagnacs.
