Cognac

An aromatic Cognac from Courvoisier that combines the traditions of Cognac with the elegance of Japanese mizunara oak. Made in a collaboration with House of Suntory chief blender Shinji Fukuyo, it started out maturing in French oak barrels, before being transferred into Japanese mizunara casks for a secondary maturation. Aromas of sandalwood, roasted cocoa, cherry blossom, aromatic oak and sweet spices fill the nose, complemented by notes of jasmine, vanilla, yuzu, passion fruit, honey and green tea throughout the palate.

The Deau XO is a blend of cognacs sourced mostly from Petite Champagne and Fins Bois and aged in small Limousin oak wood barrels for 10 to 15 years. Deep amber color and mahogany nuances. Floral (jasmine, violet) and fruit aromas (dry plum, cinnamon).

Deau VSOP is an exceptional blend of the first crus of cognac. Velvety smooth and floral this delightful vsop has rested in french oak before it has reached the necessary maturity to be blended to perfection.

Hennessy X.O is collaborating with renowned British fashion artist Kim Jones to merge fashion, culture and arts, to express X.O’s greatness & to deliver a disruptive limited edition bottle.

Golden Ball VS Cognac is a harmonious blend of tradition and sophistication. With its inviting amber hue, it offers a delicate bouquet of orchard fruits, honeyed notes, and a touch of oak. Sip and savor the essence of Cognac craftsmanship in every drop.

Founded in 1755, Maison Gautier is one of the oldest Cognac Houses. The natural humidity of the Gautier cellars, located just above the river, helps the eaux-de-vie to age harmoniously before they are blended into a Cognac that is smooth, rounded and rich.

Deep amber color. Aromas of raisin cake, salted caramel and butter praline with a silky and relatively dry medium to full flavor and with fresh chocolate almonds and a finish with cherries and spices. Very charming.

It expresses notes of prunes, dried fruit and citrus notes combined with spicy notes, woody notes and rancio. The palate is fresh, soft and quite complex.

Delamain's excellent Très Venerable Cognac de Grande Champagne, blended from spirit averaging 45-50 years of age, and cut from a strength of 45% down to 40% using old, weaker eaux-de-vie to maximise the depth of flavour.

LOUIS XIII unveils RARE CASK 42.1, a true Wonder of Time and Nature, offering an ultimate expression of LOUIS XIII Cognac.

For the third time in history, in an unexpected departure from the ordinary passage of time, Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau uncovers the third milestone in the RARE CASK legacy: RARE CASK 42.1. Inexplicable and unpredictable, a single tierçon has just unveiled its uniquely exceptional aromatic profile, giving a distinct expression of LOUIS XIII Cognac never encountered before, and with an unexpected 42.1% ABV.

The Cognac region consists of six vineyard growth areas, called 'Crus'. The grapes used for Cognac must always come from this French region. The area covers the Char- ente-Maritime, a large part of the Charente and some smaller parts of deux-Sevres and the famous Dordogne.

This unique bottling is a blend of Cognacs coming from ten demijohns dated from 1853-1906. So all of the Cognacs in the blend are well over 100 years old and almost all of the blend comes from the 19th century (making it considerably older  than the most famous, big brand prestige cuvées like Louis XIII or Richard Hennessy). In fact, the Extreme looks like a downright bargain when compared to such wines (in both quality and price terms).
