Delord Floc de Gascogne
History
The traditional aperitif of the Gascogne region, Floc is a blend of local sweet grape juice and Armagnac. Its production is protected and overseen under an AOC or Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, ensuring Floc meets the highest standards.
Delord’s Floc are a blend of 2/3 grape juice and 1/3 young Armagnac, which are then aged in old oak barrels, to preserve the freshness and fruitiness, and to obtain the perfect balance of fruit and Armagnac.
Highlights
At around 17% alcohol, it is a great way to prepare your appetite before the main meal, with foie gras, or to enjoy with fruit for a refreshing dessert.
