Rated 91/100 by Serge Valentin (Whiskyfun), this cognac charms with its expressive nose of dried fruits, candied mirabelle plum, and beeswax, enhanced by subtle notes of sweet spices and blond tobacco. Plenty of fruit and freshness! On the palate, it is ample and warm, with a silky texture where stewed yellow fruits, honey, citrus peel, and fine woody notes intertwine. The long, elegant finish leaves a refined and gourmet impression. A great collector’s cognac, whether to enjoy or to offer, already establishing itself as a must-have reference for discerning enthusiasts. Guaranteed favorite.
