Tasting review

Clear rancio in this Hors d'Age blend of cognac. A nice mahognay colour, some leather and smoke notes. A somewhat unusual taste for a Grande Champagne cognac thanks to the use of Folle Blanche grapes.

Description

Description

Cognac Couprie Hors D'Age Cognac is a rich, expertly blended cognac that's been distilled in a traditional generations-old 10 hectollitre pot still. It was then aged in Limousin oak barrels in the calm, dark, humid cellars of the house of Couprie.

The cognac epitomises the expertise and care lavished upon it by several generations. It reflects the best use of oak to reveal and highlight its beautiful mahogony color and an intense rancio aroma.

The Folle Blanche grapes used to create this Hors d'Age are what gives the cognac its unique character. But nonetheless, this is a Grande Champagne, top quality beauty, with the 'leather and cigar box aromas' so typical of fine, old cognac.

Comes in a wooden presentation box.

Nose ^*

What aromas do you get when you sniff the Cognac? Do you get hints of fruits or flowers - perhaps it's sweet? Is it intense or rather flat - and most importantly, is the nose coherent to taste and finish? The nose is the most important part when tasting Cognac.

Palate ^*

A small sip: Allow your taste buds in the various areas of your mouth to distinguish the different flavours. This part of cognac tasting is described as ‘the palate’. Don’t just swallow it down; allow the liquid to touch all the regions of the mouth. Doing this is necessary as the taste buds pick up contrasting flavours in the different areas of the mouth; on the tip of your tongue to the sides, for example.

Aftertaste (Finish) ^*

The ‘finish’ is the experience you get after you’ve swallowed the cognac. What flavours can you detect? Is it a flat or rough finish and rather sharp, or is it a slight "punch" you like? How long does the finish last? Also think about overall balance: How does the finish compare to nose and taste?

Value for money ^*

Do you like this Cognac in terms of taste but also presentation? What about the story and identity of this Cognac? Does all this translate to the price or do you think it's a bit overpriced? If you think this totally justifies the price, make it 5 stars!

About Couprie Cognac

When Pierre Couprie received the distillation permit in 1750, he introduced a long history for the Couprie family. Their estate in Ambleville in the Grande Champagne has been the home to the cognac house sine generations. Like many smaller producers, Couprie Cognac uses only its own wine production to ensure and control the highest quality of their eaux-de-vie. Courpie also produces Pineau des Charentes and liqueurs to broaden their product range.
