Tasting notes :
Nose : creamy, with hints of leather and tobacco. Surprisingly elegant and deep for such an old Cognac.
Palate : astonishingly long on the palate, with spicy notes and above all that complex, fine, noble aroma of Charentais rancio.
Grape varieties : Ugni blanc, Colombard and Folle blanche.
Clay-limestone soil.
Ageing : over 80 years old in new Limousin oak barrels, coarse and medium grain, then in old barrels. A very old and exceptional Cognac, handed down from generation to generation and distilled from different grape varieties.
