Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a VSOP Cognac from the Meukow house, distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes in France's Cognac region and bottled at 40% ABV. It pours golden with flashes of amber, and the nose leads with ripe apple, plum and delicate rose petal. The palate is where it earns its place on our shelf. Liquorice and supple leather come first, then sweet undertones of espresso and vanilla, before a long finish of orange peel and green herbs. That mix of fruit, floral lift and darker, coffee-tinged depth makes it a rewarding bottle for someone getting to know Cognac. It is also an easy one to keep open for both sipping and mixing. We carry it because it does double duty honestly. It is slow and expressive neat, yet balanced enough to anchor a Sidecar or a French Connection without getting lost. For anyone building out a brandy shelf with some character, it is a dependable pick.
Pairs well with
- Crème brûlée — The custard's caramelized sugar echoes the Cognac's vanilla notes, and its orange-peel finish keeps the dessert from feeling heavy.
- Dark chocolate truffles — Bittersweet chocolate draws out the espresso and leather on the palate for a rich, lingering match.
- Celebratory toast with friends — Its elegant apple, plum and rose aromatics make it a refined pour for raising a glass at special gatherings.
