“Superbly expressive nose followed by deep, dark, dried fruits … long finish that keeps going.” Judges’ comments
This Hermitage 25yo Cognac is produced on a 25 hectare estate around the town of Segonzac, in Grande Champagne. It is a particularly complex 25 year old that has benefited from expert ageing in Limousin oak barrels. It has a multitude of aromas and flavours which develop in the glass, but only if you can manage to keep it in there long enough.

Additional Information
- Aroma:
- Initially there is a deep smell of kumquats but this is a wonderfully complex cognac with a multitude of aromas. The nose develops to nutmeg, roasted almonds, vanilla, coffee and melon. There are also citrus aromas of mandarin and orange peel.
- Ageing:
- Aged in damp cellars in 350 litre Limousin barrels for 25 years in a large two storey, damp cellar.
- Distillation:
- This cognac was distilled on a 15 hltr still which was replaced in 2011 with a larger one.
- Flavour:
- The overall complexity of the flavours is retained from start to finish, with a slightly spicy addition appearing after the initial citrus flavour has developed on the palate. This is then followed by a development into dried almond and a hint of marrow. A superior Grande Champagne, complex and well balanced
- Grape Variety:
- Ugni Blanc
- Reduction & Strength:
- Reduction to 43 degrees
- Viticulture:
- Some of the finest chalk in the whole of Grande Champagne. Almost entirely Ugni Blanc
