Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite Tres Vieille Reserve Cognac

Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite Tres Vieille Reserve Cognac is an exceptionally rare selection created for the Rothschild family from distinguished eaux-de-vie originating in Grande Champagne and Borderies. The blend is composed only of Cognacs matured for a minimum of 50 years, resulting in remarkable depth while maintaining an elegant, balanced structure. Rich wood, dried fruit, nuts, florals and warming spice unfold gradually, leading to the exceptional length expected of this prestigious old reserve.

Food Pairing: Foie gras, aged Comte, roasted hazelnuts, candied chestnuts, dark chocolate, creme brulee, dried figs, caramel desserts, and rich nut pastries.

Tasting Notes: Rich and mature yet remarkably elegant, with developed woody character, dried fruit, nuts, vanilla, florals and warming spice supported by a balanced, refined structure.

Nose: Vanilla, dried fruits, nuts and floral aromas, developing additional clove and pepper complexity.

Palate: Rich and woody while remaining light and elegant in structure, with mature fruit, nutty character and beautifully integrated oak.

Finish: Exceptionally long, balanced and persistent, with lingering mature wood, nuts and warming spice.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip-shaped Cognac glass. The Lafite estate itself highlights the Cognac's caramelized-hazelnut character alongside candied-chestnut ice cream.
