Product details
Prunier VSOP Cognac is a distinguished expression from Maison Prunier, a venerable house with over 250 years of history in the heart of Cognac, France. Established in 1769, Prunier has been meticulously aging, blending, and bottling cognacs across eleven generations of the Prunier-Burnez family. Their commitment to traditional craftsmanship is evident in their VSOP offering, which harmoniously blends eaux-de-vie from the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne crus. This blend is aged in small-capacity barrels within Prunier's historic cellars, a practice that enhances oxidation and imparts a natural roundness to the spirit.
The Prunier VSOP Cognac presents a pale gold hue with a captivating shine. On the nose, it offers a delicate bouquet of floral notes, particularly rose, intertwined with citrus nuances of orange and subtle hints of dried fruits like almond and fresh hazelnut. The palate is greeted with a rich and supple attack, revealing layers of nutmeg, ginger, white pepper, and English toffee. This well-balanced cognac boasts a non-aggressive power and a lingering finish. Its versatile profile makes it an excellent companion to fine dishes such as strong cheeses or fruity desserts, and it can also be enjoyed in classic cocktails like the Cognac Mojito or Stinger.
