A blend of selected distillates from Grande Champagne (65%) and Petite Champagne (35%). In addition it is made from 95% Ugni Blanc grapes and 5% Colombard and Folle Blanche. Dark golden colour. Elegantly complex bouquet of spices, dried fruit, flowers and a hint of citrus. Distinctive and powerful, but not heavy. Superior concentration of flavour. Rounded attack with a long, elegant finish and the clear stamp of more than 20 years in the cask.. Fresh green table grapes and peach pit are fruity and earthy on the nose. A suggestion of sweetness in the mouth enhances the flavors of ripe stone fruit and integrated baking spices. A flavor of peach pie is left lingering on the tongue.
The nosing passes find scents of pork rind, palm oil, lanolin, lard, raisins, cranberry, toffee, salted butter and old leather. Palate entry finds layered flavors of cocoa bean, brown butter, bacon fat, cinnamon, fruitcake and dark caramel; midpalate offers dry, dusty flavors of mineral, prune, black raisins and figs. Finishes long, off-dry, caramel-like, lightly honeyed and silky.
