Composed from 100% Ugni Blanc grapes, the Park Napoleon Borderies Cognac is an award-winning release that provides the perfect introduction to this often underrated terroir. One thing any Cognac connoisseur will emphasize is the unique flavor that eaux-de-vie from the Borderies express. The soil here exerts a unique character on the grapes grown across its chalky, sandy hills, resulting in Cognacs that are round and soft with a distinct note of violets. Blended in small, hand-crafted batches and aged in a combination of new and old oak, this Napoleon expression has a complexity and depth that is sure to charm you from the very first sip.
Park Cognacs are produced by a family-owned company that can be traced back to the year 1880, when Gaston Tessendier, a mathematics teacher, acquired a vineyard in the Cognac region. Tending to the vines himself, he was such a successful part-time winemaker that he expanded his area and eventually built a distillery to produce wines and Cognac. Over time, the company became one of the largest bulk suppliers in the whole region, and still remains in the family to this day.
In the capable hands of brothers Jerome and Lilian Tessendier, these fourth-generation distillers decided in 2005 that it was time for Tessendier to not only provide Cognac to other suppliers, but to bottle their own range. Since then, six brands have been created, including Cognac Park. All Park Cognacs are produced from grapes that are free from chemicals and pesticides, creating high-quality, unadulterated eaux-de-vie at a low price. The idea of Cognac Park is to produce delicious Cognacs affordable to all, focusing on the liquid inside the bottle rather than fussy marketing - and their achievements certainly speak for themselves!
Simple and elegant, the bottle shape and label are reminiscent of vintage bottlings, a nod to the past with its calligraphy lettering and silver foil. Of course, a gift box completes the package.
Sip this complex expression as an aperitif or digestif, neat or even on the rocks. For a sumptuous dessert pairing, try sipping it alongside caramel cake or banana flambé with chocolate sauce.
Admittedly, I am partial to these cognacs because they are shipping locally in the US and don’t have a surcharge attached to them for shipping from France so for all Americans, I think this delightful entry is quite a treat as others have pointed out. It is from a rare terrior and as such as a unique...
