Ragnaud-Sabourin
Florilège
45 yrs old (all from same year)
Triple "S" / Grande Champagne
46% abv

Incredibly deep aromas of dried autumn fruits, toffee, rich brown spices, toasty oak. A rich, velvety sentry leads to a dry-yet-fruity full-bodied palate of rich brown spices, dark caramel, cocoa, and roasted nuts. Finishes with a very long fade of smoky oak, peppery spice, and dried fruits. Exquisitely proportioned and balanced. Near perfection.

Glory Extra
40 yrs old
Petite Champagne

Old gold in colour. The nose has remarkable floral freshness with leafy undertones. This first impression yields to fine spice, notably cinnamon and pronounced aromas of stewed fruit and quince. The palate is exceptional for its smoothness, packed with peach and apricot flavours, with a hint of resin and honey in an elegant and powerful finish.

Golden amber in colour. A powerful first nose is driven by spice and honey, evolving towards pepper and cinnamon, with a soft honey and buttery richness. Dense palate, and at the same time clean and slightly dry. Excellent with a great cigar!

Louis Royer
XO
Blend / Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne & Borderies
42% abv

Deep copper mahogany color. Tremendously promising aromas of caramel apple, nutty praline, polished wood, cola nut, tobacco and sassafras. A silky, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body. Ending in a vanilla pod, honeyed spice cake, oak, and mossy earth accented finish. Powerfully delicious and ethereally balanced with oak. The virility never turns aggressive, enabling one to fully savor the cognac's lingering taste and remarkable finesse.

Perfection

Vines date back to the 1870's, the Pre-phylloxera days. Its grapes are composed of a 100% French Colombard and this eaux-de-vie is pure and unblended at a natural strength of 41% volume. Hints of chocolate and coffee, big oak and great balance adds to the complexity. A rare Cognac for those who demand the finest. When perfection is gone, c'est fini, for it can never be duplicated.
