Delord Floc de Gascogne Rouge

Delord Floc de Gascogne Rouge is a luscious, aromatic fortified wine from Gascony—vibrant with red-fruit richness, gentle sweetness, and a smooth, velvety texture. It bridges the freshness of young wine and the depth of aged Armagnac, making it perfect as an apéritif or a luxurious pairing with fruit desserts and cheeses.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by Maison Delord in Lannepax, Gascony, this traditional regional specialty is made by blending two-thirds fresh grape juice (from red varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Tannat) with one-third young Armagnac distilled on the Delord estate. The fortification immediately halts fermentation, preserving the natural fruit sugars and aromatics of the grape must while adding structure and warmth from the Armagnac.
After blending, the Floc is aged for several months in stainless-steel vats to marry flavours before bottling, retaining vibrancy and clarity. The result is an authentic expression of Gascon tradition—fresh, fruity, and unmistakably French.

Tasting Profile

Nose: Bursting with aromas of crushed raspberries, ripe black cherries, and plum compote, accented by soft notes of violet, vanilla, and Armagnac warmth.
Palate: Smooth and juicy, offering flavors of red berries, blackcurrant jam, and candied cherry balanced by light spice and the subtle oak influence of the brandy. A gentle sweetness is kept lively by acidity and the spirited lift of Armagnac.
Finish: Long, silky, and harmonious. The finish lingers with sweet red fruit, soft vanilla, and a trace of almond or cocoa. The interplay of wine fruit and brandy richness leaves a round, warming impression.
