For those who appreciate the unique flavors and aromas of Armagnac, the Delord Armagnac 2009 is a must-try. Produced by the Delord family, who have been distilling Armagnac since the 1890s, this elixir has a rich and complex history.
The Armagnac is produced in the Bas-Armagnac region, using only Folle Blanche grapes grown on the family's estate. The grapes are harvested at the perfect ripeness to ensure a balanced flavor profile. The wine is then distilled using a continuous still, which allows for a slow and controlled distillation process. The Armagnac is then aged for a minimum of 8 years in oak barrels, which imparts the distinctive amber color and rich flavors of vanilla, spice, and dried fruit.
When poured, the Delord Armagnac 2009 has a beautiful amber hue and releases aromas of dried apricots, figs, and honey. On the palate, it is rich and smooth, with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The finish is long and complex, with a touch of sweetness that lingers on the tongue.
This Armagnac is perfect for sipping after a meal or as a nightcap. It pairs well with dark chocolate or a mild cigar, enhancing the flavors of both. The Delord Armagnac 2009 is a refined and complex elixir that will satisfy even the most discerning Armagnac aficionados.
