Tasting note

這瓶 1946 年的 Delord 雅文邑帶來成熟而複雜的香氣：無花果、乾杏、焦糖與陳年橡木香交織，隱約有皮革與雪茄的沉穩氣息。入口飽滿且絲滑，蜜餞般的果甜與太妃糖、杏仁、橙皮的苦甜逐層展開，中段出現陳皮、肉桂與微妙的木香，餘韻悠長，帶有烘烤堅果和淡淡煙草味。酒莊背景輕鬆說：Delord 家族自 1893 年起傳承釀造，總部在朗納帕（Lannepax），數代人守護古老酒窖和製酒技藝。釀造上採分地塊採收、溫控發酵，追求酸度與香氣的平衡，是理想的蒸餾基酒；蒸餾方式兼用連續蒸餾與雙重蒸餾，熟成於橡木桶與古老玻璃罐（Bonbonnes），最珍貴的年份存放在被稱為「天堂」的陰暗房中。葡萄園約 45 公頃分為 11 塊地，土壤與微氣候造就了細緻的香氣與成熟度。建議靜置約半小時再品，讓層次完全打開。喝法輕鬆：當作飯後一杯，配上黑巧克力或濃郁奶酪最合拍。

A rare 1946 vintage from Delord that opens with an opulent bouquet of dried orchard fruits, candied citrus peel, and warm toffee framed by well-integrated oak spice and leather. On the palate it is silkily concentrated—layers of fig, prune, almond and honeyed caramel unfold into notes of tobacco and old cedar. Long, warming and impeccably balanced, the finish lingers with orange peel, spice and a soft, toasted nuttiness. Producer notes: Delord’s story began in 1893 with Prosper Delord, a travelling distiller; the house in Lannepax remains family-run and preserves historic cellars and practices. Winemaking & ageing: grapes are harvested and vinified parcel by parcel with careful temperature control to produce a slightly acidic, low-alcohol wine ideal for winter distillation. Delord employs both continuous and double distillation methods; eaux-de-vie mature in a combination of oak casks and older glass bonbonnes—the oldest vintages resting in a room known as Paradise. Vineyard notes: the estate covers 45 hectares across 11 parcels around Lannepax, managed year-round for healthy ripeness and aromatic concentration. Serve neat in a tulip glass after 30 minutes’ rest to allow complex tertiary aromas to open.

滴隆（Delord）是一個有溫度的家族酒莊，起源可追溯到 1893 年，創始人 Prosper Delord 曾為巡迴釀造師。如今朗納帕的酒莊仍由家族掌舵，葡萄園約 45 公頃分成 11 塊，全年細心管理。釀造時每個地塊分開處理、嚴格溫控，目標是帶有清晰酸度與豐富香氣的基酒；蒸餾在冬季進行，酒廠同時使用傳統的連續式與雙重蒸餾法。熟成在橡木桶與古老玻璃罐中，最老的年份存放在被稱為「天堂」的陰暗窖房，保存狀態極佳。

Armagnac Delord: a family house founded on the itinerant practices of Prosper Delord in 1893. Still based in Lannepax, Delord combines traditional know-how with modern cellar management. The estate manages 45 hectares across 11 parcels. Grapes are vinified separately with strict temperature control to produce low-alcohol, aromatic wines for winter distillation. The house uniquely uses both continuous and double distillation; ageing takes place in a mix of oak barrels and glass bonbonnes, with the oldest vintages preserved in a special cellar room.
