Elaborated by A.E. Dor - View other products
1990, a mythical year, like 1989, because the climatic conditions during the four seasons were perfect giving a superb blooming at the right time of the buds and the leaves, a perfumed blooming in July under a brilliant sun, a veraison in August which saw an alternation of rains and suns favouring the maturation of the berries with pleasure, by offering healthy grape harvests by a fresh and dry autumn sun.
It is a Cognac that comes exclusively from wines harvested and distilled in 1990 from Grande Champagne, classified as a Premier Cru of the delimited Cognac region.
Since then, the cognac has been aged in small French oak barrels in the shade of century-old cellars.
The dress is mahogany of Cuba.
In the nose as in the mouth: an infinite cognac on a palette of perfumes and flavors from white spring flowers, such as white hawthorn or osmanthus, to spices (grey and black pepper), cinnamon, nutmeg, candied fruits such as the Ente plum or the Alsace mirabelle plum or apricot, fig, to finish on a diversity of coffees and mochas.
A tasting on dark chocolate cakes or Norwegian or vanilla ice creams or on an apricot or black cherry tart from the Basque Country, will be a plus.

A Cognac House created in 1858 by Jean Baptiste DOR, and continued by his son Amédée Edouard DOR, who sought, selected and collected the best Cognacs and Eaux-de-vie. At the time, professionals called him “the cognac antiquarian”. After ageing in oak barrels for decades (70 years and more), some of these venerable Eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne region, the Cognac Premier Cru, were carefully collected at the maximum peak of their aroma into carboys sealed with wax, in order to preserve them and keep them undisturbed.
Today, these glass containers lay in a secret winery called “Paradis”, unchanged since its creation, proudly displaying its prestigious vintages. Flagship of the AE DOR House, they generally predate the well-known phylloxera, that is to say 1874. They kept intact their precious content for more than a century, and warrant the AE DOR House’s international renown.
