Description
Dive into the undeniable finesse and elegance of a Fine Champagne Cognac with the Audry Napoleon Cognac. An impeccable blend containing 50 % of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, and 50 % of Petite Champagne. These two premium terroirs have developed a reputation for producing exceptionally fine Cognac, thanks to the high content in chalk in the soil. Its limestone subsoil and geological origins extend back millions of years, when seashells were fossilized during the Jurassic Period. Combined with its maritime climate, the soil possesses excellent drainage, and vineyards are optimally located on hillsides. With perfect exposure to the sun, and optimal soil composition, Cognac such as the Audry Napoléon from the Fine Champagne are typically floral and light, and this one in particular is the perfect introduction to Cognac from a fine pair of crus.
As a Napoleon Cognac, the youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend has been aged for at least 15 years. Typically, Fine Champagne Cognac take longer to mature and spend a longer period developing in Limousin oak barrels. The philosophy behind this Cognac is that the perfect blend is a balance between the bouquet of the grapes, the tannins from the oak of the cask, and the oxidation from the cellar. Audry Cognac are somewhat traditional in their approach to Cognac production, by offering such precious nectar in limited quantities.
On the eye : A brooding, flaming amber.
On the nose : Smooth, a fresh bouquet with notes of lime tree and vanilla.
On the palate : A light mouth, with candied fruit notes. A balance of a young Cognac and the round body of a matured brandy.
