Tasting Notes"This cognac originates from a magnificent parcel in the hilltop hamlet of Bouteville whose historic fortress has guarded the region for a millennia and now keeps watch over some of its very finest Grande Champagne vines. The Bouteville 1988 is a sublime expression of this heart of the heart terroir. The well seasoned cask used for ageing this cognac is made from French oak from the Tronçais forest and holds up to to 350 L. The use of old, seasoned oak reduces the influence of tannins, and allows the flavour of the vines and the terroir to pass into the cognac, resulting in a cognac of remarkable authenticity and elegance. For 32 years this wax sealed cask has been maturing in our dedicated vintage cellar, where near perfect levels of humidity and moisture provided ideal ageing conditions for it to slowly evolve." - Delamain |

Tasting Notes"This vintage cognac defied and exceeded expectations from the outset of a remarkable journey. Escaping the wrath of a severe frost that destroyed more than two thirds of the 1991 harvest, the cask evolved in two stages spending its youth in a dry cellar in the small commune of Verrières before being transferred to our vintage cellar in Jarnac. The combination of aging cellars producing a cognac of stunning complexity. This vintage 1991 was aged in a well seasoned, 350 L French oak cask from the Tronçais forest. The use of old, seasoned oak reduces the influence of tannins, and allows the flavour of the vines and the terroir to pass into the cognac, resulting in a cognac of remarkable authenticity and elegance. Initially aged in a dry cellar in Verrières the cask was then transferred in 2014 to Delamain’s dedicated vintage cellar close to the banks of the Charente, where near perfect levels of moisture and humidity provided ideal ageing conditions for it to continue its gradual evolution." - Delamain |
