Leopold Gourmel Cognac Age des Epices

Many fine cognacs have their origins in red wine, particularly port. This imparts a bouquet characteristic of the reds, which lend themselves well to aging. However, Leopold Gourmel Cognac offers you something a bit different, exotic, exquisite. Age des Epices is sourced from a white wine. The buttery nose of the white is carried through the aging process, becoming powerfully aromatic. Floral notes of honey, the round richness of old wood and aged leather pair beautifully with the deep golden color of the cognac. Aged for 25 years in finely grained, untoasted French Oak barrels, it is never tampered with or chill filtered. Once the bouquet and initial taste notes have been appreciated, Age des Epices blooms voluptuously on the tongue, delivering the essence of pepper and coriander. The finish of butterscotch, ginger, and clove make this the perfect palate companion to a rich winter meal, heavy with dark wines and savory dishes. It pairs well with dark, bitter chocolate and cream-based deserts.
