Marie Duffau Napoleon Bas-Armagnac

Minimum of 6 years of aging by law, but actually aged for a minimum of 10 years. Flavors of cocoa, orange rind, cake batter and vanilla. Soft tanning on the finish and a touch of rancio and nuttiness.

Background: In 1893 Prosper DELORD, travelling distiller and cellar master took his alambic from farm to farm transforming white wine into Armagnac. A few years later he married Marie Duffau who owned several hectares of vines in Armagnac bought by her parents in 1890 and 1919 surrounding the village of Lannepax. In the 30s, their two sons Gaston and Georges, created the Armagnac house Delord brothers in Lannepax. They produced, distilled and sold Marie Duffau and Delord Armagnac in France and around the world. In the 60s Gaston’s eldest son Jacques continued the Armagnac adventure. He was quickly joined by his brother Pierre. Since 2001, Jacques’ two sons Sylvain and Jérôme formed a new fraternity in the house; one that noses, tastes and blends the product whilst the other specialises in its promotion.
