Chateau Montifaud, VSOP Cognac Hundred Hills

Chateau Montifaud, VSOP Cognac Hundred HillsMade from Ugni Blanc grapes, this is aged for more than eight years. A full and fruity Cognac with notes of apricots and pear.

edgy lemony with fabulous acidity countered perfectly by ripe mirabelle plum and a creaminess

dried apricots

Full bodied with balanced acidity and round tannins

due to the complexity

hints of black olive

herbs and a fine stony finish

and leather into a long

nutty/savoury component married to forest floor and floral violet/iris notes

It is then distilled in small copper stills over open flames in order to develop its suppleness and voluptuous character in the mouth

resolving into a keen line of acidity supported by a gentle tannin

The nose is rich and complex perfumed with red berry fruits that are peculiar to this grape variety

with spiced black raspberry and black currant fruit and accents of green olive
