“Complex and well balanced.” Judges’ comments
This delightful Petite Champagne cognac has been mellowing in its oak cask for almost 40 years and although its strength is 45% abv, it has a sublime balance. Petite Champagne cognacs are often lighter than cognacs from their neighbour, Grande Champagne. This is particularly true in the east of the cru, from where this 1972 originates.
