“Wonderfully complex.” Judges’ comments
Aged with great care and expertise, this wonderful Grande Champagne cognac has been in an oak barrel for 40 years slowly maturing to its optimum condition. Flavours of plum and vanilla expand in to lychee, pear, hay, plum and dried mandarin demonstrating complexity and individuality. A great cognac for any occasion but especially for those celebrating a 40th anniversary or 40th birthday.

- Plum and vanilla expand into lychee, pear, hay plum and dried mandarin on the tail.

- Some of the finest chalk in the whole of Grande Champagne. Almost entirely Ugni Blanc
