Maison Dudognon Cognac Vieille Reserve 20 Year Old

The Dudognon family have grown grapes in the small village of Lignières-Sonneville since 1776. This village is about 11 miles southeast of the town Cognac in the heart of the famed Grande Champagne zone. In the 1970s, the family transformed their still from wood-burning to gas. They were convinced that gas produced a more regular distillation. 

This expression is a blend of barrels averaging two decades in age. When the eau-de-vie turns the ripe age of 20 the grapes in the blend start to showcase their fruitier nuttier flavors characteristic to Cognac. Fine nutty notes on the nose, along with hints of honey, coffee, and spice. Soft and sweet in the mouth, with an excellent finish.
