The Vieil Armagnac Delord Vintage Récolte 1996 comes from a selected harvest from the 1990s and matured for decades in traditional French oak barrels. The Delord distillery, one of the most renowned houses in Bas Armagnac, has relied on artisanal methods, slow distillation and long barrel ageing for generations, giving this vintage Armagnac its special depth and balance. The characteristic wax seal and hand-lettered label emphasise the artisanal origin of this limited bottling. The presentation in a wooden box makes the 1996 vintage a coveted edition for lovers of mature spirits.


With its mature structure and the typical complexity of old Bas Armagnac vintage bottlings, this Armagnac has a multi-layered profile that is best enjoyed neat in a digestif glass. The 1996 vintage is ideal for special moments and is a stylish accompaniment to sophisticated enjoyment rituals. Its mature balance harmonises excellently with culinary accompaniments that perfectly support its elegantly matured oak and fruit nuances.

Tasting Note

Colour: Amber with copper reflections.

Nose: Ripe fruit, fine spice and delicate wood accents.

Flavour: Balanced structure with fruit, caramel and soft oak.

Finish: Langs, harmonious and soft.

This mature Armagnac is an excellent accompaniment to nougat, dark chocolate, chocolate truffles, tarte tatin, fig bread or almond biscuits. The combination with mature hard cheeses such as Comté or Ossau-Iraty is equally harmonious. As a digestif after a festive meal, it unfolds its long-lasting elegant profile ideally, whether in a quiet round, on a special occasion or as a noble companion to a mild cigar.
