Delord “L’Authentique” Armagnac

Delord L’Authentique Bas-Armagnac is a pinnacle expression of traditional Armagnac craftsmanship from the Delord family estate in Gascony, France. It is considered special because it is a highly complex, premium blend of very old, hand-selected spirits, aged for an average of around 30 years in oak, resulting in exceptional depth, richness, and elegance.

Age & complexity: L’Authentique brings together mature, deeply aged eaux-de-vie, often matured in French oak for decades (typically starting in new oak and continuing in older barrels). This slow ageing builds a layered profile with remarkable smoothness and long-lasting character.

Deep flavour profile: Expect a rich, refined experience with notes of vanilla, roasted coffee, cocoa, and dried fruits, alongside hints of candied fruit, walnuts, gentle spice, and oak, finishing long and warming.

Top recognition: L’Authentique has earned strong critical acclaim, including extraordinarily high ratings (such as 96 points) and major trophies at international competitions, confirming its status as a true connoisseur-level Armagnac.
