Vintage 1995 26 years old Grande Champagne limited edition Delamain Cognac

Tasting notes by Charles Braastad, Cellar Master :

Nose : Peppery, spicy notes revealing chocolate and buttery aromas.

Palate : Spices mixed with notes of leather, coffee, liquorice and guin cherry (very ripe).

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.

This 1995 vintage comes from the vineyard of Ambleville, a commune located in the south of the Grande Champagne region, premier cru of Cognac.

Located on a geological fault, this vineyards benefits from exceptional conditions, the roots of the vines drawing their resources from deep within the limestone subsoil.
