Pierre de Segonzac Extra 50 Year Old Grande Champagne Cognac

Pierre de Segonzac Extra 50 Year Old Grande Champagne Cognac is an exceptionally mature Cognac produced by the Ferrand family in Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac. Made entirely from Ugni Blanc and distilled on fine lees, the eaux-de-vie are matured in Limousin oak, with the components of the Extra averaging 50 years of age. The producer describes this expression as showing Charentais rancio at its peak, combining remarkable aromatic complexity with an ample, smooth and opulent texture.

Food Pairing: Crème brûlée, tiramisu, dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream, chocolate tart, toasted nuts, and coffee. The producer specifically recommends crème brûlée or tiramisu and also suggests enjoying it with Honduran or Brazilian coffee.

Tasting Notes: Deep mahogany in color with a mature, extraordinarily complex profile characterized by candied fruit, developed rancio, brioche, seasoned oak and cigar-box nuances.

Nose: Candied plum and apricot with brioche and cigar box, displaying the mature rancio character of long-aged Grande Champagne Cognac.

Palate: Ample, smooth and opulent, with considerable aromatic complexity and mature fruit integrated with developed oak and rancio.

Finish: Exceptionally long and persistent, continuing the mature fruit, rancio and seasoned woody character.
