Vintage 1999 Early Landed 21 years old Grande Champagne limited edition Delamain Cognac

Tasting notes by Charles Braastad, Cellar Master :

Nose : finesse and freshness with fruity notes of citrus fruits, lychee and peach with hints of almond and sweet cocoa.

Palate : Long and supple with aromas of fig, blackberry, subtly enhanced by cedar wood.

Produced from a single harvest or a single vineyard, from a single barrel and therefore offered without blending, these Cognac have taken the time to age and are presented without any addition of sugar or caramel, thus expressing their absolute purity.

Our expertise in the ageing and blending of great Cognac thus completes the first and most important steps in the making of an eau-de-vie : cultivation, grape harvesting, vinification and distillation.

These eaux-de-vie have been distilled in a small still, according to a particular method, with a very slow pouring at the end of a good toasting. This longer and slower approach during this second stage of distillation gives these eaux-de-vie rich fruity notes.

The 1999 vintage Early Landed is a very special Cognac. Its ageing in small casks in very humid English cellars has given it an exceptional aromatic profile, while preserving the Delamain style.
