Pierre Frappin
Extra Reserve

Very sweet, complex and subtle; old Port mixed with the perform of wooden cigar boxes, typical of the old Grand Champagne of between 40 and 50 years old. Concentrated flavours. Exceptional in length, where the flavours melt together in a complex and subtle blend.

Richard Hennessy
40 yrs old
(A blend of Cognacs from 40 to 200 yrs old)
Blend / Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois
40% abv

Balanced and complex, the rich bouquet slowly releases a succession of aromas that have built up over the years: vanilla, spices, pepper and delicately fragrant flowers.

Marthe
Sepia
30 yrs old

Pronounced pickling spice, citrus zest, and faint, buttered caramel aromas.

Paradis Extra
25 yrs old
Blend / Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois
40% abv

A veritable fireworks display of spices and peppery notes, softened by the fragrant scent of flowers. Finesse and elegance are the major characteristics. Perfectly harmonious in the mouth, Paradis Extra reveals itself to be smooth, full-bodied and long-lasting on the palate. Its force and finesse, plus the delicate flavor of rancio, give it a perfect balance.

Daniel Bouju XO
25 yrs old
Triple "S" / Grande Champagne
40% abv

A stunningly multi-layered, complex bouquet with succulent smoky and ripe fruit. Sweet right out of the gate; more pensive, concentrated and soft cheese-like by virtue of the elevated level of rancio. The finish is long and dry to off-dry. A clinic for anyone to learn about rancio. A best buy.

Rémy Martin
Louis XIII
40 yrs old
Blend / Grand Champagne
40% abv

A blend of 1200 different 40 to 100 years old eaux-de-vie in specially crafted barrels called tiercons. The first nose of Louis XIII is incredibly rich, combining floral aromas with spicy fragrances. Jasmine is a dominant note, highlighting the saffron. It is then followed by the five Chinese spices, punctuated by the scents of Havana. The second nose blends the perfumes of flowers and exotic fruit more precisely. Rich and harmonious, with nuances of dried fruit and the ambiance of frankincense. Subtle tonalities of fig and sandalwood on the palate. Infinite flavours are revealed in the mouth.
