Maison Audry Cognac Fine Champagne XO 18-20Yrs 700ml

Initial aromas of black pepper and vanilla, then progress to flowery and spicy notes. Silky and sensuous entrance into the mouth, sweet bitterness, hints of dark caramel and almonds. A very balanced combination. Very great length in the mouth. This cognac is aged quickly in new barrels to preserve the eaux-de-vie's inherent aromatics. It will then be placed to an ancient barrel to mature in a damp basement, promoting roundness and highlighting the rancios. This blend consists of eaux-de-vie with and without lees, aged at least 18 years, and sourced only from the Petite and Grande Champagne terroirs."
