Leopold Gourmel Cognac Age des Epices

Cognac Brand Leopold Gourmel Cognac Age des Epices presents a decisively rich, complex and robust palate. Introducing beginning notes of honey, dried fruit, old leather, tobacco and oak, it opens slowly to added notes of baked pear, fig and raisin. Tantalizing accents of pepper and coriander emerge and lead to a finish of the warmth producing flavors of cloves, ginger, butterscotch and honey. Allowed to mature for 20 years in extra fine-grained, French oak casks that are made from only the oldest French Oaks allows for only the most delicate and subtle of wood notes to prevail. Visually it is reminiscent of old gold in liquid form. It is a sophisticated after dinner cognac that is sublime when served with dark chocolate. Where other cognac creators blend vintages, Leopold Gourmel Cognacs aim to preserve the original flavors and essences of each vintage by never mixing vintages. The Leopold Gourmel vineyards are divided into blocks, that are harvested individually so each Leopold Gourmel Cognac is created from only wine of the same year.
