Roullet VSOP Cognac

Produced by the historic house of Roullet, which traces its distillation origins back to 1780 in the heart of the Cognac region, Roullet VSOP is a single-terroir premier cru cognac sourced exclusively from the Grande Champagne subregion. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills from 100% Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the area's famous chalky soils, this expression matures in French oak casks for a minimum of four years (with older eaux-de-vie blended in to enhance maturity). The extended wood contact highlights the refined character of Grande Champagne, delivering an expressive balance of dried stone fruit, white blossoms, delicate vanilla, and warm oak spice.

Food Pairing: Hard aged cheeses like Gouda or Comte, duck confit, fruit tarts, milk chocolate desserts, or served as a refined digestif.

Tasting Notes: Warm golden-amber with bright copper highlights, displaying medium viscosity and smooth, graceful legs along the glass.

Nose: Expressive, fruity, and floral, opening with dried apricot, yellow peach, and white blossom, followed by soft vanilla, toasted hazelnut, and light oak spice.

Palate: Well-rounded, smooth, and balanced on the palate, featuring sweet vine fruits, honeyed plum, and citrus peel upfront before evolving into soft oak tannins, subtle cinnamon, and delicate nutmeg.

Finish: Medium-to-long, clean, and gentle with lingering notes of dried orchard fruit, subtle sweet wood, and warm spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, over ice, or as an elevated base in classic spirit-forward cocktails like the Sidecar or Metropolitan.
