Dudognon Vielle Reserve 20 Year Old Cognac

Age makes all the difference in Grande Champagne, and at 20 years old, this Cognac has begun to show its elegance and depth. Pronounced aromas of dried rose, peach jam, marmalade, toasted nuts and the beginning of rancio glide softly on to a palate of baked, spiced pear, warm pastry, and a savory note on the finish. My favorite of the Dudognon collection.  95 PointsVinous, September 2019

"Fine rancio note on the nose, along with hints of honey, coffee, and spice. Soft and sweet in the mouth, and with excellent length. "Score: 90-95, SUPERB, The Wine Enthusiast.

The Dudognon family have grown grapes in the small village of Lignières-Sonneville since 1776. This village is about 11 miles southeast of the town Cognac in the heart of the famed Grande Champagne zone. The soil of Cognac's Grand Champagne is largely composed of Campanian chalk. Spirits from this premier cru are especially renowned for their tremendous length.Importer Notes
