A 46-year-old Fins-Bois. Few producers of this cru take up the challenge of keeping their eau-de-vie for longer than 15 to 20 years, this cru is already ripe at a younger age. Time did well on this cask. This cognac is nicely balanced and very aromatic. Spring is just around the corner, soon everything will get scent and color again. That's what you get in your glass, the revival of nature. A visit to the beekeeper, with a pronounced waxyness, salty sweet honey with floral notes. Ripe stone fruit and stewed "haspengouwe" pears. Custard buns and brioche provide a pleasant balance. All this goodness in combination with white pepper and notes of licorice. This cognac has a firm body but continues to dance elegantly. The finish is layered and pleasant.


about the producer:
It all started in 1771, when Francois Gaborit bequeathed his Mérignac domain and vineyards to his stepson, Pierre Nalbert. For generations, the domain grew and evolved: Denis Nalbert, as early as 1833, described how April frosts, dry spells and hail storms affected harvest. Fast forward to the 20th Century: Denis, then Pierre Mousset planted a large part of today’s vineyards and installed the first 25hl still. The second was installed by Bernard Vaudon. He married Anne-Marie Mousset: the two of them being from vine-growing families, the estate grew again.Today, Anne-Marie Vaudon and Pierre Vaudon are the custodians of this history and know-how. Pierre Vaudon, who is also head of the renowned Cognac house Francois Voyer. The Cognac Vaudon brand focuses on a single “cru” of cognac: The Fins Bois, the biggest cru of the region. Its light soil is made from hard, superficial calcareous clay (silicified). It brings body and softness to their cognacs. This cru is known to age quickly. It develops spicy and liquorice notes very early. They use the Ugni Blanc grapes – machine-haversted in September – follow the strictest rules of modern oenology through delicate pneumatic pressing, light settling filtration, yeasting and thermo-regulated fermentation in stainless steel vats, as well as a thorough analysis of the constituents of each wine. These are the foundations of the quality of their eaux de vie.They do not add any sulfur to their wines.

La marque Cognac Vaudon se concentre sur un seul « cru » de cognac : Les Fins Bois, le plus grand cru de la région. Son sol léger est composé d’argiles calcaires dures et superficielles (silicifiées). Il apporte du corps et de la douceur à leurs cognacs.
Ce cru est connu pour vieillir rapidement, il développe très tôt des notes épicées et réglissées. Ils utilisent les raisins d’Ugni Blanc – passés mécaniquement en septembre – et suivent les règles les plus strictes de l’œnologie moderne grâce à un pressurage pneumatique délicat, une légère filtration par décantation, un levurage et une fermentation thermorégulée en cuves inox, ainsi qu’une analyse approfondie des constituants de chaque vin.Ce sont les bases de la qualité de leurs eaux de vie. Ils n’ajoutent aucun soufre à leurs vins.
Ce lot 77 titre 54.9% d’alcool et est limité à 390 bouteilles.
Nez: Il porte bien son nom ce Cognac, « Soleil de printemps » où nous serions en plein milieu de champs de fleurs !
Il y a aussi assez bien de fruits, d’agrumes, de miel, un léger caramel, de la cire, de la résine de pin et quelques arômes tirant légèrement vers la colle.Un nez assez généreux, légèrement terreux et qui m’évoque aussi légèrement un vieux vin du Jura…. oui je sais, excusez moi mais je viens de tomber amoureux de ces trucs là, je les retrouve donc même dans des vieux cognacs ou autres whisky 🙂
Bouche: L’attaque est évidemment plus franche du haut de ses 54%, mais cela reste tout à fait acceptable mais si ce dernier fait nettement moins classe que les autres de cette soirée… J’ai bien fait de terminer par celui-là !On retrouve encore l’acidité des agrumes lié à un beau profil brioché et légèrement boisé avec quelques effleuves plus cendrées et torréfiées. Les fruits du verger, un leger caramel, du thé noir et une finale plus réglissée viennent terminer cette dégustation.
La finale est très florale, comme son nom l’indique… vraiment bien trouvé 🙂
Conclusion
Alors je ne sais pas si le si haut niveau de cette soirée fait que, mais ce dernier me semble légèrement en dessous de ses illustres collègues de ce soir en fait.C’est très bon et bien fait, mais je ne retrouve pas l’équilibre ou la subtilité des autres Cognacs dégustés ce soir… J’aurais dû le mettre dans une soirée Jamaicaine 🙂

Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com, 02/04/2023:
A 46 years-old 1977 cognac at 55% vol. for less than 200€, that's to be seen at Macallan's too. For half an opened miniature. The world is wrecked. Colour: full gold. Nose: classic cake, praline, sponge cake, biscuit, ripe bananas, ripe peaches, acacia honey, turon, cornflakes… With water: a little varnish and glue (yes!), then peach syrup, preserved plums, rubber bands (yes!) and bread crumble/tapioca/semolina. Mouth (neat): super good, fresh, potent, fruity, just a little oaky. With water: excellent now, fruitier, more on jams and honeys, soft fruity liquorice, perhaps one or two lavender sweets, pistachio nougat, citron liqueur… All things we enjoy a lot. 1977, wasn't it the year of Blue Oyster Cult's The Reaper? Remember those slightly excessive cowbells? We used to play it with my band at university, but with very moderate success. We used to have more people on stage than in the room, mind you… Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)… Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)… Tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak… Finish: medium, fruity, jammy. Peaches and honey in control, liquorice in the aftertaste. Comments: pretty brilliant, in fact.
SGP:+41 - 89 points.

Ruben Luyten, www.whiskynotes.be, 17/03/2023:
Nose: starts fresh and rather floral, on wildflowers, a little chamomile and some grassy notes. Then a minty / herbal side indeed. After a while it becomes fruitier, on all kinds of orchard fruits. Pears and green apples, with honeydew melon. A light resinous touch too.
Mouth: still this floral (voilet) and slightly herbal profile. Whiffs of ginger and mint, alongside biscuity notes, melons and fresh stone fruits like nectarines. Almonds, orange peels and hints of walnuts. Drops of liquorice root tea in the end.
Finish: medium, still on fruit tea and mild herbs. Hints of citrus freshness as well.
Very solid Fins Bois, balancing orchard fruits with herbal freshness. Good tension and very drinkable. Really nice again.
Score: 90/100
