Presentation of the bottle :

Presented in a delightfully simplistic decanter, it is a satisfying display of sophistication. A teardrop shape, it has a characteristic charm that is representative of its originality. With gold type and boldly stamped Claude Chatelier branding, the expertise that it has originated from is evident at first glance. Housed in a bold black box, it is fine art from the beginning to the last touch.

How to enjoy :

Thanks to its harmonious nature, this Cognac is best enjoyed neat to allow the balanced blend opportunity to be savoured suitably. Perfect for a post-dinner tipple to end your evening on a balanced note. Enjoy in good company and take time to linger over its taste sensation.

Eye : Deep mahogany hue, with a balanced amber tone.

Nose : Favourable oak on the nose, beautifully balanced with aromas of vanilla and dried flowers.

Palate : Harmonious with initial notes of plum and candied fruit. Begins to open up to hazelnut and fig flavour. Towards the end rancio subtly appears accompanied with keys of leather and tobacco. A delectable lingering is left.
