Maison Delord

Delord is one of the most respected names in the world of Armagnac. The house was founded in 1893 by Prosper Delord, a traveling distiller who roamed from village to village with his mobile still, transforming local wines into Armagnac. His passion and craftsmanship remain at the heart of this family business, now led by the fourth generation: Jérôme and Sylvain Delord.

Location and Terroir

Maison Delord is located in the heart of the prestigious Bas-Armagnac region. Their vineyards surround the village of Lannepax, where sandy, iron-rich soils produce elegant, fruity spirits with exceptional aging potential.

Production and Craftsmanship

Delord stands out for its complete control over the entire process – from grape to bottle. They work with traditional grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco, and Folle Blanche.

Distillation is carried out using both a continuous column still (classic for Armagnac) and a pot still, allowing them to create a variety of styles and flavor profiles. The eaux-de-vie then mature for many years, often decades, in their own cellars, aging in local oak barrels until they achieve perfect balance.

Delord Armagnac Style

Delord is renowned for producing smooth, rounded, and refined Armagnacs, beautifully balancing fruit, spice, and oak. In their older vintages, you’ll discover deep, complex aromas of rancio, leather, nuts, and spices that unfold beautifully over time.

Specialty

One of Delord’s greatest strengths is their vast collection of vintage Armagnacs, some dating back to the early 20th century. This allows them to offer rare, single-year bottlings that are ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, and special occasions.
