Paul Giraud 1999 Grande Champagne Cognac

Vintage releases in Cognac are on the rare side of things and we were quite happy to be able to give this a try. This is a wonderfully balanced Cognac peaking at around that 20 year in barrel mark. The nose shows a beguiling mix of pepper, forest floor, sweet notes of apricot pit, pan cake, cinnamon and sugar on toast, and stone fruits. The palate is soft and quite approachable and nicely echoes the notes of the nose. D&M Tasting Notes
