Delord Vieil Armagnac 2008 is a distinguished Bas-Armagnac of genuine refinement — produced at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax using Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche, and aged in one of more than 700 oak barrels in Delord’s celebrated cellars. Clear amber with beautiful gold reflections; a nose of vanilla, oakwood, marzipan, and dried fruits; rich, smooth, and beautifully balanced on the palate — rounded, soft, and elegantly easy to drink, with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of careful oak maturation. The perfect 2008 birth year gift and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection. Images for illustrative purposes. 

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Clear amber with beautiful gold reflections and refined clarity — displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of patient ageing in oak barrels at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax, one of Armagnac’s most celebrated and visionary producers.

Aroma

Enticing and complex — vanilla, oakwood, marzipan, and dried fruits create a sophisticated and layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects years of ageing in Delord’s treasured oak barrels, with each element in perfect harmony — a testament to the expertise and patience of the Delord family and their prized Sier Armagnac alambics.

Palate

Rich, smooth, and beautifully balanced — hints of cinnamon, marzipan, and toasted bread weave together in exceptional harmony. Rounded, soft, and elegantly easy to drink, the 2008 vintage showcases the hallmark Delord style with a long, warming finish of genuine Bas-Armagnac distinction and refinement.

Pairs With

A natural companion to dark chocolate, crème brûlée, aged blue cheese, dried figs, and walnut tart — or enjoyed as a contemplative digestif after a special meal. The perfect gift for those born in 2008, and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.

Production Notes

Delord Vieil Armagnac 2008 is produced at the family distillery in Lannepax, Bas-Armagnac, using Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche grape varieties. Distillation 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 — a slow, traditional process central to the exceptional quality and complexity of Delord’s Armagnac. The eau-de-vie is aged in one of more than 700 oak barrels in Delord’s cellars. Bottles indicate a bottling date, as it is only age in wood that truly matters.

Producer History

The Delord family distillery in Lannepax has long been dedicated to the pursuit of soft, approachable, and age-worthy vintage Armagnacs — a philosophy expressed through two column stills, one of which is a Sier dating from 1900, both equipped with ‘spider plates’ ideally suited to producing eau-de-vie of exceptional finesse and longevity. The majority of fruit is sourced from the family’s 66-hectare vineyard in Bas-Armagnac — of which 6 hectares are farmed organically — with grape varieties remaining true to Armagnac tradition: Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Folle Blanche, and Baco. Bas-Armagnac, the most prestigious of the three Armagnac appellations, is renowned for its sandy sables fauves soils and the exceptional finesse and aromatic complexity they impart to the eau-de-vie.
