A stunning expression of five decades worth of slow maturation and biding one’s time, the Audry Réserve Aristide will encapsulate your senses and take you on an aromatic journey. It has been bottled straight from the Limousin and Tronçais oak barrels in which it has spent 50 years aging, hence its deserved Reserve Cognac status. Audry have outdone themselves with this wonderful ode to the Grande Champagne, whose eaux-de-vie they manage to capture so well in aroma, color and flavor.
In the words of Jean Aubry from Montreal: "The most perfect example of an eau-de-vie that reveals itself like Russian nesting dolls. Once you have started you can't stop yourself looking ever further".
The Grande Champagne is renowned for producing premium quality Cognacs, with a light and floral quality. The Réserve Aristide Cognac does all of this and more. Thanks to the unique soil composition of chalk and limestone, the soil drains incredibly well and vines remain hydrated. The cru is positioned on the hillside of the Cognac region, making for optimal sunlight exposure and all of the perfect properties of a Premier Cru Cognac.
The Cognac house of Audry is all about modesty; having bided their time for decades after halting production in the 1950s, they now release limited numbers of exquisite Fine Champagne Cognacs using the treasures of their Paradis Cellar which started again in 1978. This is how Cognacs such as the Réserve Aristide come into being.
Enjoy this Cognac neat to savor its age and quality.
Audry is currently updating their labels, it is possible that you'll receive the new design.
Sealed with a gold wax seal, it exudes luxury. The bottle is simply and tall, with a chic labeling denoting the Cognac house and a gold-leaf sketch of the estate. The presentation sleeve is a deep mahogany color.
Tasted from a sample of the Audry Discovery Set. Beautiful colour tasted H2H with the Audry Exception: deep amber with golden reflexes. Quite a bit of alcoholic bite in your nose, leather, furniture polish and fine spices. On the palate also driven by alcohol, accompanied with woody notes, liquorice...
Cask strength is too high at 50. Such hi alcohol content does not benefit the palate. Nose is very flowery, highly similar to desert wine (Sauternes). Taste is fully dominated by sweet flowery palate. Very little in a way of layered taste that is so present in other vintages. Very little rancino,...
Was enjoying a good evening with a close friend doing an XO cognac tasting with the Audry Reserve Aristide being the true differentiator. The others were all from well known Cognac houses and were good, but did not stand out from each other. The Audry was our clear favorite. It was deep, rich,...
A cognac that I can only describe as liquid magic! The nose is slightly reserved at first but slowly opens up to an intense chocolate and spicy banana bouquet with flowery and earthly undertones. It is quite difficult to pinpoint the palate; a true cornucopia of flavours that blend very smoothly in...
When Time Magazine reported that ‘the best Cognac you’ve never heard of is Audry’ back in 2005, this small, artisan Cognac house was catapulted into the limelight. Since then, their products have become known in countries throughout the world and among some of the most prestigious restaurants – including those in Europe, Scandinavia and North America. However, just because a few years ago the name of Audry Cognac had not really been heard of outside of France, this does not mean that the house doesn’t have a long and illustrious history.
This family run Cognac house has a story that dates back to 1878, and despite keeping a series of older casks in chai, they stopped selling their bottles in 1950. This has arguably been the secret of their success; in 1978 when Bernard Boisson ignited the renaissance of the Audry Cognac brand, he had one of the most precious cellars of decades-old eaux-de-vie to dive into and begin blending exceptional Cognacs once more.
