Nose is so delicious
Reddish amber in the glass with gold highlights on the edges, an honest color. First nose is so delicious, hints of cigar box, freshly cut hardwood, but fruity, deep fruits, and a sense of the high abv. Time changes little, others have used the word “precise” and that fits. Mouth-filling, but...
A29 Grosperrin
Nose: Fruity (orange, a touch of lime), marzipan, subliminal lilac and very well integrated wood notes. Taste: Blood orange, clear wood tones , but absolutely within the framework. Lilac, the 47.8% is noticeable. Finish: medium to long, still restrained orange and strong wood notes. Verdict: Successful...
Lembert XO
Surprisingly very good. At this price point I assumed it would be good but average; turns out it’s above average for sure. I got the impression the taste started leaning towards nutty or almond and less fruity, but more balanced after a few tastings, it was great. Planning on ordering again....
Easy drinking
This is top of their ordinary range, only the Heritage is older. This is a very dark cognac. It is a bit shy on the nose, it takes time to get the aromas out of the glass. Then you can find tones of vanilla, fruit and some elegant wood. It is quite smooth in the mouth, you can find hints of spices...

Cognac Expert: A short history
Coming from an agricultural background, our grandfather having farmed and owned a vineyard, we've always been dedicated to the Cognac region, the people and naturally, to the drink we all know as Cognac. We have great admiration not only for the bigger houses such as Courvoisier, Camus and Hine, but also the smaller, family Cognac producers.
One day we were driving through the vineyards close to Blanzac, in the Fins Bois region, when we discovered a small producer we'd never seen or heard of before: This led us to think that there are so many brands out there that people don't know about. Neighbours, producers and friends have since introduced us to the wide field of different brandies and the whole Cognac experience. For example, one evening at a dinner in the neighbourhood our host presented a seemingly simple VSOP. And it also came with an anecdote about a winegrower who wanted to convince the cellar master of Hennessy that he could produce a great blend, so he created that particular VSOP solely with that in mind. It was a fantastic blend... but one couldn't buy it. It was situations such as this that led us to the idea to start a blog about the most famous of all brandies, Cognac. In the beginning we just started with a small blog, with a short piece reporting about the latest VS Cognac our father had brought home.
Today it's a much more than a blog; it's a website with a list of all cognac brands and producers, bottles and products, as well as a place that users on a global scale can exchange and talk about their experiences like a dedicated Cognac platform for China.
These days we regularly visit estates from André Petit and Bache-Gabrielsen to Rémy Martin and Martell, have the privilege to taste rare Vintage or XO Cognacs; and we can exchange with enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. It's fantastic.
We created this website to share the unbelievable diversity of brandy brands and producers with an international readership, and we must say - it works!
