About this SPIRIT
Nismes-Delclou
Nismes-Delclou is the oldest firm producing Armagnac, founded in 1832 by Baron Hausmann, then Chief Commissioner of Police in Paris. It has since remained in the hands of the same family. Today, Florence Castarede, the sixth generation continues the tradition of producing wonderfully rich, perfumed and smooth Armagnacs which are amongst the finest in the region.
The house of Castarede enjoys an enviable reputation for holding impressive stock of old vintages, going back to 1881.
Only the finest fruit from the Bas Armagnac region is used and the eaux-de-vie are matured slowly in wooden casks and demejans in two different locations: In the old Nismes-Delclou cellars by the Baise river at the Pont de Bordes in Lavardac and in Château Maniban at Mauleon d'Armagnac.
This old magnificent castle of Maniban was built in the 16th century, and is a classified historical monument. The estate is surrounded by vineyards planted with Folle Blanche (aka Piquepoul), Colombard, and Ugni Blanc (Saint-Emilion).

Description
Jean Bottéon, the Cellar Master of Armagnac Nismes Delclou, has been looking after his beloved casks in the cellars of the Château de Maniban for over 20 years. In that time he has got to know the personalities of the casks, and how they all get along. It is these decades of experience that enable him to bring together this exquisite blend of the finest eaux de vie. The very youngest cask in the blend is 60 years old, however to ensure that the Armagnac is as good as it can be a number of much older casks might be added. The completed blend represents the very pinnacle of the blenders art and of course the shows the wonderful finesse that fine Armagnac has to offer.
