Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Grande Champagne Cognac from Maison Ferrand, a house whose history dates back to 1702, made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the Grande Champagne cru, the premier growing area within the Cognac region. In the glass it pours rich amber with mahogany glints, and the nose leads with dried apricot and fig wrapped in vanilla, honey, toasted oak and a quiet floral note. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, with figs and dates, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, and toffee-caramel sweetness, before a long finish of oak, dark chocolate and a whisper of orange peel. It suits the drinker who already enjoys Cognac and wants to taste what a single cru brings, as well as anyone marking an occasion with a slow after-dinner pour. We carry it because it shows its origin clearly and rewards attention when sipped neat, with a few drops of water opening it further.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate squares — The chocolate echoes the dark chocolate and oak on the finish while the Cognac's toffee and caramel sweetness rounds out its bitterness.
- Crème brûlée — The custard's caramelized sugar mirrors the Cognac's toffee notes, and the vanilla on the nose ties the two together.
- After-dinner cigar — The Cognac's full body, dried fruit depth and long warming finish stand up to a fine cigar during a slow evening pour.

Pour a small amount neat into a tulip-shaped Cognac glass at room temperature and let it breathe before sipping. A few drops of room-temperature water can open the aromas. It can also make a special Sidecar or Sazerac, though most will want to taste it neat first.
