Lisateave erinevate konjaki kasvupiirkondade kohta
Jacky Navarre, konjakitootjate mustkunstnik, on hämmastanud piirkonda oma võimega luua selliseid käsitööpudeleid nagu Navarre Souvenir Impérial Hors d'Age Grande Champagne Cognac.
See on algusest lõpuni puuviljane, mitmekülgne ja kompleksne. Pool sajandit laagerdunud Hors d'Age on "Imperial" näide Jacky võimest toota Grande Champagne'i konjaki segusid. See on läbinud protsessi, mis erineb enamikust: seda ei ole jahutatud, ei ole värvitud ega puulaastudega boisiseeritud. See on just selline, nagu see on mõeldud olema - otse tünnist.
Ta ei valmista mitte ainult fantastilisi konjakke otse tünnist, vaid on ka meisterlik blender. Jacky Navarre on neljandat põlve destilleerija ja kasvatab viinamarju oma üheteistkümne hektari suurusel Gondeville'is asuvas mõisas. Ta on destilleerimise meister ja ei kasuta vett - ta laseb oma konjakitel lihtsalt loomulikul aurustumisel väheneda.
Souvenir Cognac on destilleeritud tema 30 hl Charentais' potistilla. Navarre on üks viimaseid puriste omataoliste seas ja tünnid oksüdeeruvad ainult tema keldri niiskuse tõttu. Laseb loodusel oma tööd teha, nii et ta toodab uskumatult sügava aroomiga ja vaieldamatu rancio'ga konjakit.
Pudelisse villitud oma loomulikus tünnisisalduses, mis on 40% ABV.
Konjakit võib nautida mitmel viisil, kuid arvestades Souvenir Cognac'i vanust ja tootmisprotsessi, soovitame seda nautida puhtalt, toatemperatuuril napsuklaasist.
Flavour profile
The most exotic pour of the flight, dry yet bursting with tropical fruit. Mango and papaya on the nose with ginger, honeyed apple and sandalwood, then papaya, passionfruit and guava on the palate with a hint of eucalyptus, closing earthy on sandalwood and walnut oil. A little polarising, and all the...
This was a blind buy for me and made my decision to purchase based on others reviews. I’m so glad I made the choice to purchase this amazing cognac. The nose has tons fruit and the the taste is fantastic with fruits, oak, a little leather and honey. I enjoyed it neat and the finish is long. You...
I’m not surprised why so many people regard this beautiful expression of Cognac so highly. Reminds me lying on a French equatorial beach. Such a lovely aroma and taste of tropical fruit. A tropical punch bowl with a kick. Not disappointed at all. Lovely. Thank you Jacky and all at Cognac Expert.
There’s a wonderful richness to the nose from the first moment. Plums and prunes, mango, hints of mint and tobacco, with some old leather. Plenty of old oak as well. Magnificent. Deep and a dark like an intense compote with gentle sweetness that rolls into rich, spices. It’s like a fruitcake...
This is by far my favorite Cognac. The bold and smooth robust flavor with the finish of the walnut with the mango and the aromatic spice! This is truly an extreme palate revelation. The only problem is once you start, you can’t stop. I have to call on the cognac god (Jacky Navarre) to help me stop...
A wonderful cognac! On one side, with so many positive reviews it wasn't a surprise. But still, when I tasted it for the first time, there was that "wow" moment - A perfect balance between age, complexity, and aromas. Fruity, with hints of floral, wood, and a bit of spice.
At the opening - the initial aroma of sweet sour-cream honey light port wine with hints of flowers, like rose petals. Hints of pastry or freshly-baked crepes. No ethanol spirit smell. Alcohol is integrated into the cognac aroma. In The Glass: First 5-7 minutes scent of sour-cream honey,...
This really has it all for me, a heady aroma, intense taste and an incredible finish. Oh and the mouthfeel is wonderful too
The sip was tasteful and full of body it was exceptionally robust. I didn’t think that Navarre Souvenir Impérial Hors d’Age Grande Champagne would be sold at the price of a beggar and be so good. Get this one just for the hell of it, you’ll see it was worth it ten folds.
I just finished my second bottle of this and will be buying more since it's becoming one of my favorites. It has so many flavors going on I find it difficult to pick out one particular fruit or spice. It's very well balanced between fruit, spice, and some earthy tones. Very good lasting finish.
Jacky Navarre'i, Cognac Navarre' i neljanda põlvkonna destilleerija, võib pidada üheks viimaseks allesjäänud "puristiks" omataoliste seas. Grande Champagne'i Gondeville'is asuvas üheteistkümne hektari suuruses mõisas destilleerib ta oma vilja käsitsi - tõeline käsitöömeetod, mida tänapäeval on haruldane leida. See iidne konjakitootja valmistab tõeliselt traditsioonilist konjakit, mille keskmine vanus on 40-50 aastat ainult ühe segu puhul. Hämmastav on see, et sellest majast pärit konjakitele ei ole lisatud vett - tünnidesse oksüdeerub pika aja jooksul ainult keldri niiskus. Tulemuseks on ainulaadse kvaliteedi, aroomi ja sügavusega konjakid. Tema reegel on lihtne - "lase loodusel teha suurem osa tööst" ja ülejäänu tuleb iseenesest.
