Distiller Notes
De Luze VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac is an exceptional blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne, the two best terroirs in the Cognac region, known as Fine Champagne when they are blended. The wine is distilled unfiltered, on its lees in our own distillery, using the Boinaud family's unique method that gives our Cognac an exceptional finish.
Old gold color. Floral notes of summer rose petals and fruity notes of prunes, candied fruit, fruit and cake, as well as spicy notes of vanilla and chocolate. One the palate, smooth, with a remarkable roundness. Perfectly balanced and surprising length.
Proof: 80
Widely regarded as the finest and most complex grape-based spirit in the world, Cognac follows rigorously strict production guidelines. It is made exclusively of wine—most commonly from Ugni Blanc—from the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions surrounding the town of Cognac in southwestern France. After a second distillation in antique copper pot stills (called charentais), the spirit is transferred to French oak barrels and aged a minimum of two years (VS). Cognac is classified by both age and region (Cru). The Grande Champagne Cru and Petite Champagne Cru, both having shallow limestone soils, are the most respected.
