Christmas Cognacs

Christmas is coming
With Christmas now just around the corner, we’ve got a lot to be excited about over the next couple of weeks.
While we know Christmas may seem like a little way off yet – the current worldwide logistical situation means that ordering early is more important than ever this year. Spare any disappointment and ensure your festive treats arrive on time by filling your carts now.
A Merry Ode to Cognac
The children are in bed
And the decorations on the tree
Now it’s time to treat yourself
To some festive eaux-de-vie
This is when you thank yourself
For stocking up the shelf
As you have two exquisite bottles
From the Cognac Expert elf
The hardest question is
Which one to enjoy first?
Will it be the Pasquet
Or the Voyer to quench your thirst?
Maybe Le Cognac de Noel
From L’Esprit de Famille
With its notes of nutmeg, cinnamon
And hints of orange peel
Perhaps the Extra Christmas Cognac
From the vineyards of Grande Champagne
With aromas of dried fruit, spices
And a finish that remains
The red wax of Prulho Hors d'Age
Has certainly caught your eye
From Grande Champagne - what a "Voyage"
A truly excellent buy
The Sophie & Max Edition Number 2
Is impossible to resist
Aged over a couple of decades, too
What a treasure to exist
Whichever bottle takes your fancy
One thing will be true
It’s bound to be a merry evening
With a glass of Cognac to accompany you.

Our Cognac Expert Calendar podcasts have just begun. Tune in and listen to cognac makers talk about the history of the spirit and the ins and outs of the whole process.
There’s also 10% off the latest Cognac of the Month: Laurichesse Le Chai de Mon Père 104 with a rating of 87/100 – check out the full tasting review from the Cognac Expert connoisseur Taylor on our blog.
Pasquet’s latest offering Noel Cognac is another highly rated Cognac delight that we think will serve perfectly at the table this Christmas. Since Noël translates as Christmas in French, it seems almost fated that the spiced aromas of this special blend are so accurately reminiscent of the festive season, when in fact, it was actually named in honour of recent Pasquet ancestors; Noël and his wife Marie-France.

Extra tasty
Color: Chestnut On the nose: Fruity with a touch of earthiness. I can’t pinpoint it but I get a light and lasting baked note. Something like a pie with dark fruits. After that are more floral and fruits like apple juice, peach jam, apricot jam and plums. There’s a bit of spices like vanilla,...
Francois Voyer Extra Cognac Limited Christmas Edition
Eye: The Cognac pours a bright amber color, with some orange reflections. Gently coating the glass walls reveals many thick legs that slowly parade down the glass. While this is clearly no cask strength beast, it does seem to have an elevated viscosity. Nose: The nose takes some time to get going....
Christmas all year
This is a beautiful cognac from Voyer. It is very delicate on the nose with both fruity tones like orange peel and darker tones like cigar box etc. In the mouth it is quite tasty. But the body is somewhat short. Spices is what to taste the most. The after taste is nice, but lacks a bit of depth. I...
Excellent value for money!
You don't smell the 43% on the nose, warm fruity, but later on bit spicy (or more like pepper?). You can really taste the winter and Christmas in that Cognac, love it! Very long finish. A very well balanced Grand Champagne Cognac - get your hands on it as long as you can. It's a limited one and...
Great Cognac
Really lovely fruit notes greet the nose initially. As it opens, some leather and subtle spice appear, with everything being very well balanced. The palate delivers fruit, spice, and some mild oak and tannins in a lengthy finish! Very nice and well balanced! ...
Perfect Winter cognac
This is a very limited edition cognac but If you can get your hands on a bottle, you should without hesitation. It is a spicy, warm cognac with notes of leather, tobacco, cloves and dry fruit, a perfect winter cognac. On first look, you can see the nice light cooper color. On the nose you can easily...
A Christmas to remember
Fruity, woody, and peppery. It retains some of its youthful notes of spring flowers and fresh mint, beautifully complemented by oak, leather, and dried fruit, result of the long maturation. Youthfulness and maturity are perfectly balanced and in harmony. This Christmas Edition makes for a prefect...
Dry, Spicy, and Full of Charm
The nose is a delight. Lots going on. The first things that jump out are leather, tobacco, and fruitcake. There is certainly a good showing of rancio here. Jasmine and fruit blossoms are hiding softly underneath. This Cognac has a decent amount of fruit aroma's, as well. The palate mimics the nose...
Complex and delicious
Jewel-like clarity in the glass with just a hint of reddish copper. The first nose is fruity and generous. Five minutes later more notes have been added, leather and a little tobacco. Complex and delicious. Spices appear in the mouth at the first sip, quickly mellowing to a slightly licorice finish....
Cognac Age: Hors d'Age
Growth Area: Grande Champagne
ABV: 43% vol.
Quantity: Strictly Limited Edition of 100 Bottles
This is a lovely Cognac with a wonderful balance of fruit, wood, and spice – with particular emphasis on the spices. It’s hard to find fault with the Cognac and the overall tasting experience. I’m not left wanting for anything. But, it’s important to remember that this is a mature complex blend. It should, therefore, not be gauged relative to single cask bottlings, or exclusive vintage bottlings. It should be measured against other blends of roughly the same age. That all being said, since this is a selection from Cognac Expert, produced by Francois Voyer, for the holiday season, I see this Cognac perfectly apt as a gift for any lover of fine spirits, and I especially see this Extra Christmas Edition as a perfect close to the holiday meals that are approaching in the coming weeks.



Noël = Christmas, a perfect match
Distilled: 1994
ABV: 46.4 %
Growth Area: Petite Champagne
Grape Variety: 100% Ugni Blanc
Although the French translation of Noël is Christmas, and so it seems almost fated that the spiced aromas of this Cognac are so accurately reminiscent of the festive season, this Cognac is in fact named to honor the charming couple of Noël and Marie-France.
The story of Noël and Marie-France
Noël is the second of five children, and as the first son, he was destined to inherit responsibility for his family’s vineyard, as his father had. However, in the mid-60s a tragic tractor accident meant that Noël had to prematurely step into his role and take charge of the vines and the cattle as a teenager up until the mid-80s.
