Cognac Normandin-Mercier, it's an old 18th-century dwelling nestled in the saintongeaise countryside surrounded by cellars where the treasures of this House dating from the Second French Empire under Napoléon III sleep.
Created in 1872, today a fifth generation is looking after this long-established heritage, hidden not far from La Rochelle, "the rebel city" with its headquarters by Louis XIII and Richelieu, the port of origin for the first shipments of wines and then later in the 17th century of brandies distilled in its hinterland named Cognac from the mid-19th century onwards.
This is where Premiers Grands Crus, true to its Quality Charter, has unearthed this gem of Cognac.
It is a Cognac made from a blend of very old Cognac eaux-de-vie coming exclusively from the Premier Cru Classé of the Cognac region: the Grande Champagne.
It is a Grande Champagne cognac exclusively aged in red and very old barrels.
The color is amber sustained brilliant.
The first nose is fine and elegant with notes of spices, candied fruits and orange peel. Then the roundness expresses itself on aromas of brioche, apple turnover and spices, saffron and cinnamon.
The palate is suave and long with a finesse marked by raisins and dried apricots subtly intertwined with scents of undergrowth, musk and oak.
