Marancheville Lot N°70 Cognac
The Marancheville Lot N°70 Cognac is a rare and carefully curated blend of eaux-de-vie exclusively from the Grande Champagne, 1er Cru de Cognac. Inspired by the energy and cultural evolution of the 1970s, this Cognac is a tribute to both an era and the expertise of the house’s cellar masters, Grégoire and Laurent, who themselves were born in that decade.
Crafted from at least ten different eaux-de-vie, this Cognac has matured in various cellars—ranging from humid conditions near the Charente River to drier environments—resulting in an exceptional balance between structure and aromatic intensity. The barrels used for aging vary in size from 250 to 400 liters, and while their precise history remains unknown, the tasting profile suggests a distillation with lees, contributing to its depth and complexity.
With a distinctive 41.5% ABV, the Lot N°70 offers a refined expression that sits between Marancheville’s XO and their prestigious Lot 14/45. The aromatic richness reveals deep notes of candied citrus, floral hints of honeysuckle, and warm cedarwood, complemented by a lingering, silky finish marked by exotic fruit nuances.
Presentation of the bottle
The Marancheville Lot N°70 Cognac is presented in a bold, modern decanter that reflects both its vintage inspiration and refined craftsmanship. The square-shaped bottle with rounded edges showcases the rich amber hue of the Cognac inside, emphasizing its depth and complexity. A thick glass base adds weight and stability, enhancing its premium feel.
The front label design is striking, featuring a minimalist yet elegant gold and black color scheme. The number "70" is prominently displayed in a stylish, artistic font, symbolizing the decade that inspired this exceptional Cognac. Above it, the Marancheville emblem adds a touch of classic branding, reinforcing its identity as a Grande Champagne Cognac.
The bottle is sealed with a natural cork stopper, topped with a wooden cap that carries the Marancheville branding. A ribbon label attached to the neck further elevates its artisanal appeal.
Adding to its prestige, the Cognac is housed in a wooden display box, engraved with the Marancheville logo and the product name. The box provides both protection and a luxurious presentation, making it a perfect collector’s item or gift for Cognac enthusiasts.
How to drink
