THE ART OF TASTING

YOUR TASTING JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A CHOICE: ENJOY ONE COGNAC ALONE OR DISCOVER HOW THEY SPEAK TO EACH OTHER. ALONE, EACH TELLS ITS OWN STORY. TOGETHER, THEY CREATE SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW; A CONVERSATION OF FLAVORS THAT NEITHER COULD EXPRESS ON ITS OWN.

THIS IS OUR COLLECTION'S MAGIC: ONE SINGLE VOICE, OR A SYMPHONY THAT REVEALS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF FLAVORS WHEN PAIRED. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. THE DISCOVERY IS ENDLESS.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

JOURNEY
“LAND'S WHISPER”

THIS PROGRESSION HIGHLIGHTS THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN FLAVOR AND AROMA THAT DISTINGUISH EACH TERROIR.
  • PETITE CHAMPAGNE N°1: ELEGANT NOTES OF LYCHEE AND LILAC ARE DELICATELY BALANCED WITH CEDAR AND CINNAMON, PRESENTING A FRESH, VIBRANT PROFILE THAT EMPHASIZES FINESSE.
  • BONS BOIS N°1: RIPE APPLE AND BANANA FLAVORS ADD DEPTH, COMPLEMENTED BY ALMOND AND WALNUT UNDERTONES. THIS GENTLE SHIFT FROM FLORAL TO FRUITY, ROUNDED BY SOFT TANNINS, SHOWCASES THE EVOLVING NATURE OF TERROIR INFLUENCE.

  • BOIS ORDINAIRES N°1: VEGETAL NUANCES OF IRIS AND BROOM BLEND HARMONIOUSLY WITH TOBACCO AND RANCIO, SHOWING HOW EARTHY AND MARITIME INFLUENCES CAN ELEVATE THE COMPLEXITY AND CHARACTER OF A SINGLE CASK.

THE COGNAC SOCIETY RITUAL

STEP 1: THE GLASS

THE TULIP GLASS ENHANCES COGNAC TASTING BY CONCENTRATING AROMAS AT THE RIM WHILE ITS SHAPE ALLOWS THE SPIRIT TO BREATHE, DELIVERING A MORE REFINED SENSORY EXPERIENCE.

STEP 2: THE POUR

BETWEEN 10 TO 40ML, THE PERFECT MEASURE IS UP TO YOU. EACH VOLUME CREATES ITS OWN PERFECT MOMENT.

(OPTIONAL: ADDING A DROP OF WATER TO COGNAC RELEASES HIDDEN AROMAS AND SOFTENS THE ALCOHOL, ENHANCING THE TASTING EXPERIENCE AND HELPS REVEAL ITS FULL COMPLEXITY. CAN BE DONE AFTER A 1ST TASTE.)

STEP 3: THE COLOR

COLOR REFLECTS ITS AGE, TERROIR, AND BARREL AGING, EVOLVING FROM PALE GOLD TO DEEP AMBER, ENTICING THE SENSES EVEN BEFORE TASTING.

STEP 4: THE SWIRL

A GENTLE SWIRL RELEASES AROMAS. THE TEARS FORMING ON THE GLASS REVEAL ITS RICHNESS AND TEXTURE: THE SLOWER THEY FLOW, THE MORE CONCENTRATED THE SPIRIT, PROMISING A SILKY AND STRUCTURED MOUTHFEEL.

STEP 5: THE NOSE

THE NOSE OF COGNAC UNVEILS ITS COMPLEXITY, WITH LAYERED AROMAS RANGING FROM FRUITY AND FLORAL TO SPICY AND WOODY, OFFERING A SENSORY PREVIEW OF ITS DEPTH AND CHARACTER.

STEP 6: THE TASTE

A SMALL SIP REVEALS THE PROFILE. NOTICE THE PROGRESSION OF FLAVORS ACROSS THE PALATE. EACH ELEMENT CONTRIBUTES TO THE WHOLE.

STEP 7: THE FINISH

AFTER THE SIP, LISTEN TO THE ECHO. A GREAT COGNAC LEAVES YOU WITH A FEELING, A MEMORY, A DESIRE TO RETURN. SOME MOMENTS ARE MEANT TO LINGER.
