One can easily forget that Petite Champagne cognacs can be as fine as those from the top cru Grande Champagne. The 1969 has aromas of straw, papaya and honey whilst the palate excels with pear, nutmeg, ginger, banana and saffron. This is an unusually fine, balanced and well aged cognac from the heart of Petite Champagne.
