Through the grapevine Lot 38 Petite Champagne Cognac is crafted with precision and care, boasting a 42.6% ABV in a 0.7L bottle. Since Georges Vallein began selling bottled cognac in 1850, five generations of distillers have followed in his footsteps, creating exceptional blends. Today, Catherine and Louis Tercinier continue this legacy at the Domaine des Forges, acquired over eighty years ago. This single cask cognac, distilled in 1938 and aged for over 60 years in Limousin oak, plus an additional 20 years in a demijohn, was bottled in September 2022 without reduction.
The Vallein Tercinier Lot 38 comes elegantly packaged in a sophisticated coffret, symbolizing the cognac's rich heritage and the Tercinier family's dedication to quality.
To truly appreciate the depth of the Vallein Tercinier Lot 38, it should be enjoyed neat. Serve at room temperature in a tulip glass to allow its aromatic profile to fully blossom. This cognac is not just a drink; it's an experience to be savored, perfect for contemplative moments or as a distinguished conclusion to a special meal.
So, a 1938, aged for 60 years in wood, then in demijohns until it was bottled at natural strength this year. Colour: dark amber. Nose: perhaps not as fruit-forward as other old cognacs by Vallein Tercinier, but it's still a fruity one, with many jams, cordial and syrups. Triple-sec, old Bénédictine,...
 | Vallein Tercinier is a family cognac house at the Domaine des Forges in Chermignac, about 35 kilometres south of Cognac. The date on the label is 1850, when Georges Vallein developed the vineyard. Catherine Roudier-Tercinier built the modern name through the 1990s and 2000s. Today the house is run by the sixth generation, four brothers: Matthieu and Martial on the vineyard, Guillaume and Paul on the cognac. Part of the stock rests in the Petit Paradis, a clay-floored cellar that pushes humidity through the barrel pores and gives the older bottlings the undergrowth and old-leather character collectors look for.
