Tasting Notes

Appearance

This distinguished Bas-Armagnac presents a rich, golden copper hue with brilliant clarity and warm, inviting depth, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of three decades of patient ageing in oak barrels at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax, the ancestral home of one of Armagnac’s most celebrated and visionary producers.

Aroma

The nose is multifaceted and deeply rewarding, with candied fruits, vanilla, cocoa and butter creating a sophisticated and richly layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects thirty years of ageing in Delord’s treasured oak barrels, with each element in perfect harmony — a testament to the extraordinary patience and expertise of the Delord family and their prized Sier Armagnac alambics that produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie per hour.

Palate

The palate is rounded, soft and beautifully easy to drink, with candied fruits, vanilla, cocoa and butter weaving together in exceptional balance. The hallmark Delord style — very rounded, soft and approachable — is evident throughout, with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of three decades of careful oak maturation. An outstanding Armagnac of genuine distinction and complexity.

Pairs With

This exceptional Bas-Armagnac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, crème brûlée, candied orange peel, dried figs, walnut tart, or enjoyed as a contemplative digestif after a special meal, making it the ultimate gift for those born in 1994 and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.

Distillery Info

Production Notes

Delord Bas Armagnac 1994 is produced at the family distillery in Lannepax, Bas-Armagnac, using Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grape varieties. Distillation — the most essential and fascinating stage in Armagnac production — takes place from the beginning of November through to the end of December, using the family’s treasured old Sier Armagnac alambics that produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie per hour. This slow, traditional distillation process is central to the exceptional quality and complexity of Delord’s Armagnac. The eau-de-vie is then aged in one of more than 700 oak barrels in Delord’s cellars, which protect and age Armagnac dating from the 20th century to the present day. Delord’s vintage Armagnac range is one of the most complete in existence, with vintages from 1900 to 2006 — only 33 vintage years unavailable. Bottles indicate a bottling date, as it is only age in wood that truly matters.

History

The 1994 vintage Armagnac from Delord represents a rare and exceptional piece of French spirits heritage. Bas-Armagnac, situated in the Gascony region of south-west France, is the most prestigious of the three Armagnac appellations, renowned for producing eau-de-vie of exceptional finesse, complexity and aromatic depth. The region’s sandy soils — known as sables fauves — are ideally suited to the Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grape varieties that form the foundation of Delord’s Armagnac. Thanks to Delord’s extraordinary vision in storing exceptional Armagnacs for such extended periods, the 1994 vintage has had over thirty years to develop its remarkable complexity of candied fruits, vanilla, cocoa and butter — a living testament to the patience, expertise and heritage of the Delord family and the unique terroir of Bas-Armagnac.
