Leopold Gourmel Cognac Age des Epices - #5 of Best Cognac Labels

Leopold Gourmel Cognac Age des Epices

Only a cognac as natural and complex as this is worthy of the name Leopold Gourmel. Named after the grandfather of one of the founders, this iconic cognac is both powerful and full of flavor. Of the varieties that Leopold Gourmel Cognac offers, perhaps the most intriguing is their Cognac Age des Epices. Originated from white wine, this cognac is strong, rich, and powerful. One conjures vision of golden treasures when gazing at the coloration of this fine, round cognac, which leaves just a hint of pepper, coriander, and spice on the tongue. During production the Age des Epices slowly soaks in the casks. Twenty years are required to reach the best parts of the wood, but at twenty five years there are no more aromas seeping into the cognac. There are never any additives, and all Cognac Age des Epices is aged to perfection in extra fine, un-toasted French oak casks.
