Home History Expertise Armagnacs World Tour Contact and location Hurry Delord House Vineyard Our 42 hectare vineyard, divided into 11 plots, is located in the town of Lannepax. It is made from the four traditional Armagnac grape varieties: Ugni-blanc 56%, Colombard 24%, Baco 14% and Folle-blanche 6%. Throughout the year, Rinaldo, the head of culture, accompanies the vine with the greatest care in its development. Wine cellar The four grape varieties are harvested, pressed and vinified separately in the winery a few meters from the distillery. Temperature control, settling, racking are techniques well mastered by Sylvain Delord. He is looking for an aromatic, slightly acidic and low-grade wine, ideal for distillation. Distillery The distillery is located in Lannepax, the family's birthplace. Distillation, an essential and fascinating step, generally takes place in the heart of Winter. We are one of the only Armagnac houses to use both methods of distillation, the continuous distillation typical of Armagnac and the double-heated distillation. Our two Armagnacais stills, one of which is from the 1900 “Sier” house, are column stills equipped with “spider leg” trays, ideal for making old Armagnacs. The two “double toasting” stills produce fruity eaux-de-vie intended for young Armagnacs. Breeding Our cellars have more than 1000 barrels and a dozen oak casks which ripen and protect Armagnac eaux-de-vie dating from the 20th century to the present day. The oldest vintages are kept in Bonbonne, away from light, in a room called Paradise. Jacques and Sylvain Delord, the noses of the house, taste, select and combine the eaux-de-vie. After Prosper, Gaston and Georges, they are the guarantors of the typicality of the Armagnacs Delord.
