Armagnac Delord Vintage, 1987 Harvest, 40% vol., 0.7 l, in a wooden box online kaufen

The Vieil Armagnac Delord Vintage Récolte 1987 is a premium vintage Armagnac from Gascony, which showcases the character of a single historic harvest and distillation vintage. It is produced by the long-established family-run Delord house, whose history began in 1893 with Prosper Delord and his work as an itinerant distiller. Since then, knowledge of viticulture, distillation and the long-term ageing of eaux-de-vie has been passed down through several generations within the family. The specified 1987 vintage makes this bottling an Armagnac Millésimé, thereby clearly distinguishing it from classic cuvées, in which distillates from different vintages are blended together.

The Delord Vintage Récolte 1987 has been able to develop slowly during its many years of ageing in oak casks, with the intensive contact with the wood contributing significantly to the maturity and complexity of the eau-de-vie. With an alcohol content of 40 per cent, this aged Vieil Armagnac is presented in a 0.7-litre bottle. A high-quality wooden box emphasises the special character of this historic vintage bottling and makes it an attractive gift. Particularly for birthdays, anniversaries and commemorations linked to the year 1987, the Delord offers an exceptional alternative to traditional spirits gifts, combining a specific vintage with the Delord family’s long tradition of Armagnac production.
