Founded in 1893, Armagnac Delord is a family-owned producer based in the heart of Gascony. For four generations, the Delord family has preserved the traditions of Armagnac while continuing to refine its craft, producing spirits known for their balance, authenticity and sense of place.

The Estate

The story began with Prosper Delord, a travelling distiller who introduced his Armagnacs throughout the region. Today, the estate remains under family ownership, led by Sylvain and Jérôme Delord. In 2020, the family expanded its commitment to quality by restoring Domaine de Galaubas, an ancestral property dedicated in part to organic Armagnac production.

Vineyards and Terroir

The estate farms 55 hectares of vineyards in Bas-Armagnac, widely regarded as the appellation’s most prized growing area. Sandy soils, clay-limestone terraces and varied exposures provide ideal conditions for Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Folle Blanche and Baco. These traditional varieties contribute freshness, aromatic complexity and structure to the finished spirits.

Distillation and Ageing

Delord is one of the few Armagnac houses to employ both traditional continuous distillation and double distillation. Ageing takes place in oak casks within the estate’s historic cellars, where more than 1,400 barrels mature slowly over time. Rare vintages are preserved in glass bonbonnes in the family’s “Paradis” cellar, allowing exceptional stocks to age gracefully for decades.

Style

Delord Armagnacs combine richness and finesse. Younger expressions show vibrant fruit and floral notes, while older releases develop layers of dried fruit, spice, toasted oak and rancio character. Across the range, the spirits remain balanced, elegant and remarkably approachable.
