Cognac of the Year 2023 and double gold medal for the 1990 30-year-old vintage !
The 1990 vintage, aged 30 years, was awarded Cognac of the Year 2023, and a double gold medal in this competition, highlighting its long ageing in dry cellars.
In 1990, a grape bursting with promise was harvested. Behind the walls of the Domaine, it was distilled on the lees, subjected to a double trial by fire and aged relentlessly until its soul was extracted. Then, under the supervision of the BNIC, the eau-de-vie, this pure gem, is entrusted to the secrecy of shadow and time, in the fragrant belly of three sealed casks.
