This 1995 vintage exemplifies the art of fine cognac production, offering remarkable depth and complexity. Distilled on a small still with a straight-sided head to preserve maximum wine character, the cognac is made predominantly from Ugni Blanc, with some Folle Blanche enhancing its profile. Aged in 350-litre Limousin casks, with an initial 6–8 months in new wood before transferring to older casks, the maturation process is further enriched by medium-damp cellars with natural floors. The soil, a flat Coniacian chalk similar to that in Cognac town, combined with the region`s even climate, contributes to the exceptional quality.
Delightful aromas of butterscotch, cocoa, cloves, and brazil nuts lead to a palate of butterscotch, walnuts, biscuits, and baked apple peel, finishing with mandarin peel and damson. The cognac is carefully reduced over nearly two years, with added wood exposure enhancing tannin interaction, resulting in a rich and beautifully finished spirit worthy of its acclaim.
