Cognac Vs Armagnac Blog

This Cognac is made from Grande Champagne, 1er Cru de Cognac. This unique terroir, who is a guarantee of quality, is enhanced by the single Estate production. It is a subtle balance that makes it exclusive and authentic. The Very Superior Old Pale (VSOP) is a blend of Cognacs of different ages, the youngest of which has spent at least 5 years in oak barrels. Its colour with amber nuances leads to delicate floral aromas intermingled with vanilla.

At least 20 years are required to produce Painturaud's Vieille Réserve cognac. This long aging process gives it an amber hue with brilliant highlights of pure gold. The youngest of their aged cognacs, its bouquet expresses an intensity and great length of aromas of undergrowth, dry vine shoots, vanilla, and the first notes of rancio. The palate offers the sweetness of fully ripe fruit. Extremely mellow, velvety, and caressing.

Composed of 40% Fine Bois, 40% Petite Champagne and 20% Grande Champagne. This cognac spends 8 months in new oak barrels to extract soft and light aromas, then in red barrels. It reveals fruity (apricot, lychee and orange zest), floral (acacia and jasmine) notes, slightly spicy with ginger and softened by vanilla.

Fruity nose with aromas of quetsche (plum), followed by notes of gingerbread and vanilla. The mouth is already very soft, ample, and has a nice sweetness.
