Vieille Réserve N°7 Cognac is the result of the inspiration of Amédée Edouard Dor’s son-in-law, who passionately aspired to craft a unique Cognac using the precious legacies bequeathed by Amédée Edouard Dor. Originating from the Grande Champagne region, it was aged in one of the Maison A.E. DOR’s dry cellars. With an alcohol content of 42°, it distinguishes itself by exceeding established norms, endowing it with a significant power on the palate. Its robust, masculine aroma is a delightful surprise, revealing persistent notes and a delicate, full-bodied character.
A.E Dor Vieille Reserve No 7 Cognac is a Grande Champagne treasure that has undergone an incredible aging process, in order to reveal its exceptional array of aromas and tasting notes. With a potent punch, No 7 Cognac is a fantastically full and “masculine” blend of eaux-de-vie, that persists powerfully on the palate long after tasting. The fantastic flavors of this Cognac have come to life through a completely natural process, whereby the Cognac is put into demijohns once it has reached 42° as a result of natural evaporation. The demijohns are then left to age initially in dry cellars for a number of years and later in humid cellars to finish the maturation process in a different atmosphere.
The Cognacs of the A.E Dor Hors d’Age collection are stored in the wax-sealed demijohns for decades, until the eaux-de-vie have reached their prime and are ready to be bottled. Despite their great age, A.E Dor’s Grande Champagne Vieille Réserve range have retained strong personality and Premier Cru characteristics as a result of the care and attention put in from the Cellar-Master and team at Maison A.E Dor. A collection of Cognacs embodying luxury, elegance and utmost finesse. These exclusive qualities are rare to come by, and can only be guaranteed in Cognacs of the first class; Premier Cru.
Steeping in both history and savoir-faire which dates back all the way to 1858, the house of A.E Dor is a reputable Cognac brand offering Cognacs of exceptional quality. Timeless in style and flavor, A.E Dor Cognacs present an elegant brand image, which is reflective of the rich history and artisanal craftsmanship, that has been passed on through the family, generation after generation.
The bottle shape and design of the A.E Dor Hors d’Age collection is simple and elegant allowing the delightful Cognac inside to speak for itself. Nevertheless, the classic decanter design certainly draws the eye closer. The cream labelling and accompanying gift box contrast delicately against the shimmering golden hues of the Cognac it beholds. The added bronze details, finish off the decanter with an extra touch of luxury - one that is representative of the premier class terroir the Cognac derived from.
Cognacs from A.E Dor’s Hors d’age range should be slowly savoured down to every last drop. Due to the lengthy maturation process, Vieille Reserve Cognacs are rich in both flavor and history. Sipping Vieille Réserve No 7 Cognac neat will allow the Cognacs story to be told. To alter the tasting experience very slightly, try adding a few cubes of ice and enjoy as the patchwork of unique aromas open up across the palate. Close your eyes and let this very old Cognac take you on an immersive experience, far beyond the realms of your average Cognac tasting. We recommend serving this Cognac from a tulip glass, as its narrow flute allows the aromas to develop unreservedly.
I’m tasting this from three small samples. The initial nose is already showing class with deep plummy notes, some sweet hints of cocoa and dried fruits, tobacco leaf is there too. It’s surprisingly gentle, but really lovely. Initially on the palate there a burst of fruit that quickly settles...
The color is rich, classic, dark amber. The aroma is not alcoholic, but rich, powerful, and intense. The main theme, as in No. 6, is fruity, but more powerful, dark, and dried fruit-like—dark grapes, raisins, plums, smoked prunes, dried figs, apricots, and dried apricots. It is echoed by an equally...
