In our 2018 Creation Catalogue, we selected a particularly harmonious blend of two vintages (78 & 80). This year, we are inviting you to discover a 1996 vintage, whose nose, palate and finish are so distinct they could almost suffice on their own. To the nose's nobly woody character, the palate responds with a delicate minerality and the finish with a deep, resplendent maturity. With no fear of leaving the beaten track, it takes the tortured paths dear to Pierre Vaudon, the owner of this well-renowned cognac producer, to find its own harmony.

Nose : ample, distinguished. With incredible finesse, the initial nose is characterized by notes of precious wood, beeswax, apricot, quince, dark chocolate, liquorice and bourbon vanilla. Allowed to breathe, it becomes medicinal (ointment, mustard poultice) and floral (lime blossom, gardenia). With time, it becomes increasingly resinous (pine, cedar) and pastry-like (cake, Paris-Brest).

Palate : rich, well-developed. The particularly silky mouthfeel is like the skin of a white peach. The very dynamic attack has a wonderfully youthful expression. Without making any concessions, it reproduces the quality of an extraordinary spirit and the grandeur of a magnificent terroir. With mouth-watering salinity, it overflows with mineral salts. This minerality scoops up whole blocks of limestone.

Overall : long, concentrated. Cinnamon and toffee immediately cover the taste buds. Next, these tertiary tones gradually give way to other more mature flavours (dark chocolate, mushroom, moss). The deliciously tannic (grape skin, fig, date) retronasal olfaction is juicy and earthy. The empty glass is vanilla, vegetal (coriander), spicy (star anise) and exotic (mango, kaffir lime).
