Tasting note

滴隆的 1967 年經典雅文邑，色澤深琥珀帶古銅光澤，散出蜜餞、無花果乾與黑糖的溫暖香氣，並夾雜烘焙杏仁、香草與細微煙草與皮革調。入口圓潤而有層次，焦糖與牛奶糖的甜感被橡木的香辛和烘果味支撐，口感絲滑，酒體飽滿但不厚重，餘韻悠長且逐步延展。 酒莊小故事：Delord 家族的蒸餾與窖藏傳承自 1893 年，創辦人曾以 alambic 流動蒸餾於農戶間。葡萄園位於 Lannepax，約 45 公頃分成 11 塊地，由專職栽培師 Rinaldo 全年照護。醱酵與壓汁在靠近蒸餾所的窖房內分地處理，溫控、沉澱與澄清程序都掌握良好，目的是保留香氣並控制酒精，以利冬季蒸餾時得到理想的原酒。 釀造與陳年：Delord 既使用傳統連續蒸餾也採雙重蒸餾法，蒸餾多在寒冬進行，蒸餾後在百年與現代橡木桶、以及稱為「天堂」的玻璃瓶房中長期熟成。這瓶 1967 呈現出橡木與陳年融合的細膩口感，適合慢慢品賞或搭配陳年起司與濃郁黑巧克力。

A majestic, well-aged Armagnac from Delord’s 1967 vintage. Deep amber to mahogany in the glass, the nose unfolds layers of dried figs, prune, candied orange peel, and toasted almonds, threaded with vanilla, warm toffee and gentle tobacco. On the palate it is richly textured yet refined—silky caramel and nougat notes mingle with baking spice, leather and a hint of dark chocolate. The oak is present but integrated, giving structure without overpowering the delicate, vinous traces of the original distillate. Exceptionally long, contemplative finish. Producer notes: Delord’s story goes back to 1893 when Prosper Delord travelled with his alambic from farm to farm. This vintage benefits from the house’s small-scale, careful approach: harvested and pressed parcel-by-parcel, controlled settling and fermentation aiming for aromatic, slightly acidic, low-alcohol wine ideal for distillation. Distillation occurs in winter and the house uses both continuous (Armagnac) and double distillation methods. Winemaking & ageing: After distillation the eaux-de-vie matured in Delord’s cellars—over a thousand barrels and a dozen oak tanks—some of the oldest vintages kept in glass bonbonnes in a room known as Paradise. The 1967 shows elegant oak maturation, long integration and the concentrated complexity that only long cellar ageing can produce. Vineyard: The family’s 45 hectares around Lannepax are divided into 11 parcels and tended year-round by the vineyard manager Rinaldo, whose attentive work helps produce the balanced base wines required for great Armagnac.

Winery

滴隆（Delord）是保有百年手作精神的家族酒莊，起源於 1893 年流動蒸餾的作業方式。酒莊位於 Lannepax，靠近蒸餾所的窖房負責分地壓榨與發酵，並結合連續與雙重蒸餾法。窖藏多達千桶以上，還有專門存放老年份的玻璃瓶房，讓酒款能以最自然的節奏慢慢熟成，呈現複雜與優雅。

Armagnac Delord is a family house founded on itinerant distilling traditions dating back to 1893. Based in Lannepax, the estate combines small-scale vineyard work, careful cellar practices and both continuous and double distillation methods. Their cellars—more than 1,000 barrels plus tanks and glass bonbonnes—allow very long, patient maturation and the preservation of vintages that reveal depth and elegance over decades.
