Delord BAS XO Armagnac

Produced by Maison Delord in Lannepax, Delord XO is a well-balanced Bas-Armagnac expression crafted from eaux-de-vie aged between 6 and 15 years in French oak barrels (exceeding the standard XO requirement). Distilled using traditional continuous copper column stills, this spirit combines vibrant dried fruit notes with soft vanilla, cocoa, and toasted oak spice.

Food Pairing: Soft cheeses like Camembert or Brie, roasted duck breast, apple tarte tatin, dark chocolate desserts, or prunes wrapped in bacon.

Tasting Notes: Rich golden amber with copper highlights and smooth, medium-bodied viscosity along the glass.

Nose: Expressive and fruity, opening with candied plum, dried fig, and ripe apricot, followed by floral honey, soft vanilla, and subtle toasted oak.

Palate: Round, supple, and smooth on the palate, featuring sweet stone fruit nectar, dark cocoa, and light wood tannins upfront before developing into warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and subtle almond.

Finish: Medium-to-long, warm, and elegant with lingering notes of dried fruit, gentle wood spice, and soft oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, or served over a large ice cube.
