In the heart of grande champagne, we visited the cognac house Voyer for the first time in 2021. There, where vineyards whisper their stories to the wind and grapes grow in the shadow of history, we discovered a treasure trove of cognacs that had stood the test of time. A memorable day it became! As this nearly hundred-year-old cognac touched my lips, I tasted the history, joy and virtue that had been infused into it over the centuries. Every drop was like a trip back in time. As I savored this extraordinary cognac, I couldn't help but smile. Here, in this moment of pure pleasure, time itself was forgotten and the joy of life was celebrated. A smile that embodied the essence of pleasure and virtue. This demi john was kept to cherish and share.
This nearly 100-year-old cognac opens with an enticing burst of fruitiness on the nose, with notes of juicy apricots, ripe pears and sun-ripened grapes. With each sip, profound complexity unfolds, with the vibrant fruit notes seamlessly blending into the refined rancio. The rancio character offers wonderful depth to the Cognac, with hints of dried figs, walnuts and subtle earthy undertones. Sweet tobacco, ripened fruit and mint provide a wonderfully complex finish.
