The Vieil Armagnac Delord Vintage Récolte 1996 is sourced from a select harvest of the 1990s and has been matured for decades in traditional French oak casks. The Delord distillery, one of the most renowned houses in Bas Armagnac, has relied for generations on artisanal methods, slow distillation and extended cask ageing, which give this vintage Armagnac its exceptional depth and balance. The distinctive wax seal and hand-inscribed label emphasise the artisanal origins of this limited-edition bottling. Presented in a wooden box, the 1996 vintage is a highly sought-after edition for connoisseurs of mature spirits.


Thanks to its mature structure and the typical complexity of old Bas Armagnac vintage bottlings, this Armagnac displays a multi-layered profile that unfolds best when enjoyed neat in a digestif glass. The 1996 vintage is ideal for special occasions and provides a stylish accompaniment to sophisticated tasting rituals. Its mature balance harmonises superbly with culinary accompaniments that perfectly complement its elegantly matured oak and fruit nuances.
